Anybody advise, recommend, website/ supplier to order syringes, needles etc for self med. b12?

Given a pack of 10 B12 ampoules, and seen all the advice re two needle sizes ( for withdrawing b12, then injecting), suggested 2 ml syringe, even if 1 ml b12, swabs, even ampoule breaker. But connections to Amazon webpages no longer working , so can’t see specific recommendations or even suppliers’ names. Can any one help? Thank you.

Amazon no longer sell needles. They do do syringes

2 mL syringes are better than 1 mL as you can suck up air to ensure you've got all the liquid out of the vial.

You should be able to get all you need from medisave -

I couldn’t get them to work either when originally posted the question...used Medisupplies...got cheapest 1ml syringe, green and orange needles, and tiny wipes. All work fine, and yes use green to draw out b12 and orange to inject. Got very cheap ampoule snapper that works fine if you carefully place ampoule in it. I got given 10 ampoules too...will private message you.

Thanks...that would account for why I couldn’t find them, and felt like I was going round in circles! Did eventually find Medisupplies that did most of my needs( stuff in basket), but will look at your Medisave links now for comparison!

Added: The swabs are much cheaper, but out of stock!
