30 minutes ago bodfeld-Apotheke.de had Rotexmedica B12 depot available . The site is in German so you might need a translation facility amazon.de has a site in English . Several German pharmacies supply Amazon.de ,but not all ship to U.K. . You just have to keep trying till you find one which does .Best wishes

Thank you. Ordered from bodfeld but.....I may have only ordered 1 vial although the price is the same for ten so unsure if it means 1 box or 1 vial. I will soon see lol x

You cannot have ordered 1ampoule /vial . The smallest amount they sell is 1pack with 10 ampoules ! I never buy I pack because the courier costs are the same even if you buy 100 ! They have a long use -by date -about 2 1/2 years . So as I inject weekly , it’s the most economical way to buy them . Just keep them below 25 c and in the dark . In the top of the fridge if the weather becomes tropical !

Ha ha it was in German so was unsure. It's cheaper than on prescription that's for sure and they will only give you 3 vials on script. 16.99 for 10 sounds good to me x

Buying 100 for £60.00’ is even better i.e. 60 pence each . I’m shocked to hear that you pay so much for three NHS ampoules !

Tip for the. future —— Look on the ampoules box and you will see a reference number called a PZN with I think about 7 digits. In future , if buying from any German online pharmacy ( but not from Amazon.de ) just enter that number and you will be taken straight to that product . It is the German -wide pharmaceutical reference number for that particular item .
