B12 injections from gp

[Frankieluca]

What exactly is in the b12 injection that the gp gives you in the UK?

[wedgewood]

It’s I mg of vitaminB12 in saline which also contains a little acetic acid ( i.e. salt and vinegar as preservatives) It’s what we get if we order the B12 Hydroxocobalamin ampoules from online pharmacies in Germany .

Thank you for your reply. I was just wondering what was in the injections that a lot of beauty therapists offer, and if it is different from what we get from doctors. I am over eight weeks waiting for my injection from the gp, and could not inject myself, so am considering going to a beautician

Those rip-off artists will use the same B12 that we get from Germany. But, instead of charging £0.76 like the German pharmacies do, they charge from £30 to £80.

Have you thought about subcutaneous Injections? I think the same we dont want to support these beauty salons ripping people off

Once, went online to one of those beauty therapy “clinics “ and an ampoule was pictured . It was one of the makes that we buy from German online pharmacies. I should hate to pay those prices that they charge ! Have you considered buying one of those devices called an auto-injector unionmedico.com ? They do cost £100.00 so I suppose it not worth it if you only want one for this virus emergency situation .
