I would be useful for you to get a translation app , then you would be able to order easily . Failing that , you can use amazon.de( German Amazon ) who have a site in English Look for - Rotexmedica B12 Depot .for Hydroxocobalamin, as used by NHS . Only trouble is that some of the pharmacies do not deliver to U.K. . I’ve just been online and looked and I can tell you that Cura Vendi and Biber pharmacies do deliver to U.K( you need to trawl through the lists of pharmacies that are offering B12 for sale -the list is on the right hand side ) .You can buy packets of 10 , and any number of them , or they are also sold in packs of 100 ( 10 x 10) Rotexmedica ampoules are 1mg x 1ml

If you want 1mg x 2ml ampoules, look for Hevert B12 Depot . (Hydroxocobalamin) They tend to be a bit more expensive than Rotexmedica . Best of luck 🍀💉 .

Thanks for that.

I've just placed an order with Cura.

I used my last hydroxocobalamin ampoule yesterday, and I thought I'd be left dependent on my methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin stocks (I find it beneficial to switch between them, but that's probably just me.)

Yes I’m afraid and I know that a lot of people get cheaper from Germany. When I started I had a lot of support from the doctor which I needed as was incredibly nervous about it. I now inject monthly so am happy to keep paying as I can contact the doctor any time and it has made such a huge difference to my quality of life and is hassle free for me.

There are cheaper options from abroad tho which lots of people on this group I think use particularly if you get different parts of the kit from different places.

Hope you manage to find something

I normally get 6 ampoules at a time which lasts me 6 months as I inject monthly. I think the kit is about £150 for 6 x 1mg and more for the 5mg concentration ampoules which I get. I think it depends on how often you need to inject as to whether price justifiable.

I started with 6 injections a week apart and have been SI monthly since then. That worked for me but everyone different and some people need more frequent so may be better to go to Europe pharmacies in that case. If unsure, you could give her an email or phone call or alternatively try one of the other links from people in the group.

Hope it goes well
