B12 injections

[lilly60]

Where in the UK can you buy ampules

Thanks

[fbirder]

You can't.

Most of us here buy from Germany.

100 ampoules versandapo.de/vitamin-b12-d...

10 ampoules. versandapo.de/vitamin-b12-d...

If you use the Chrome browser it will offer to translate from German.

Set up an Amazon account to make signing in and payment a doddle.

I just put B12 ampoules into Ebay search and I bought them. Then went on Amazon and bought needles. I was surprised how easy it was.

I just put 'B12 ampoules' into eBay and everything seemed to be for drinking, not injection. It is highly dangerous to inject the drinking ampoules.

Hi, thanks very much for these links. When I tried to order I got to the shopping basket and it seemed to be saying (in German) that delivery address had to be in Germany. Have you ordered for delivery to the UK recently? I wonder if this is a recent change?

Like many others, I have PA but have been told by surgery no B12 jabs are being given at the moment.

Have you got an account with Amazon? Did you use it to sign in? And to pay?

When I've done it that way they don't ask for an address.

Ah, brilliant- yes I can do that. Thank you!

Always good to have more than one source . Also available from

bodfeld-apotheke.de . Click on Union Jack top right for English translation . I always recommend registering at the pharmacies . Search for Rotexmedica B12 depot or use the reference number 03862297 for a packet of 10 or multiples thereof. Or reference number 03862305 for 100 ( 10 x 10 packets ) I’ll send you a help sheet .

Do they sell ampoules? Are they single-dose?

[AndreiSys in reply to helvella]

They sell metil. Please, email them to find out about dosage. Thanks

[helvella in reply to AndreiSys]

So far as I can see, they sell methylcobalamin as a dry powder.

Ampoules are (usually) single-dose, ready-to-inject glass containers.

In the UK water for injections is regarded as a Prescription-only Medicine so reconstituing dry B12 (of any sort) will likely still be a problem.
