Purchased too much hydroxocobalamin!

4 years ago•9 Replies

Have no idea why. Panic bought 100 ampoules as was concerned my Gp would refuse injections but they didn't. Even so I had gotten low my tinnitus returned. Given that I am only going to inject monthly, there is a 2 year sell by date, I only need less than half of what I have, need some spare as keep breaking ampoules on opening! Would it be appropriate to ask if anyone else needs some?

You should buy the ampoules breaker from amazon Teresa it takes all the stress out of it for just over £3 it’s so worth it,the ampoules can stand In it too making it easier to draw out the b12.x

Do you know of any PA support groups near you - they may welcome some ampules to distribute to members

in reply to clivealive4 years ago

That’s a good suggestion Clive,I tried to donate to b12d org and they weren’t allowed to accept because it’s Injectables it seems we are only allowed to obtain them for self use and cannot offer them to others.

Maybe support groups would be a way of getting the help to people who need it’s worth a try x

Unfortunately it's against the law to supply prescription medicines to other people.

You may have to dispose of them. I recommend people who might have a good idea as to how they may be disposed of should send you a PM by clicking here - Hidden

But if they are not for the treatment of PA or other severe deficiency requiring B12 by injection, it appears OK to supply them!

A good point. Anybody who wants some B12 for beauty treatments should PM Hidden

I did note whilst researching that local beauticians and gyms were using this, at a cost of course! Did not realise it was also used by weight loss clinics!? Does it really make that much of a difference?

None whatsoever.

A few weeks ago a pair of these scammers were on Dragon's Den. Deborah Meaden described them as being 'all that is wrong with this world.

I cheered.
