Can companies sell bad b12 vials

Hi all. I have PA and been self injecting for 3 years now. What a difference this made in my life. I inject 3 times a week and all was going well. I get meds and needles from my pharmacy. I use to get vials that had a red top and the last 4 or 5 mos it's been a yellow cap and obviously different company. Recently I've been having low b12 symptoms. I'm wondering if somethings wrong with this company. I've checked the expiration date and says 2022. It does say it comes from India. Has anyone had this problem?

There are unreliable Indian pharmaceutical companies , as well as good ones . I see that you are in the USA . If I were you I would get my B12 ampoules from Canada , where you can obtain Sandoz B12 Cynocobalamin in vials and in single use ampoules . I can send you the information when I get up ( it’s 4 am her in U.K. )

Thanks. Yeah I didn't want to come off as blaming a country or anything like that. It's just that I'm not sure if all countries have strick policies when it comes to storing and handling of meds. I'll check out Canada. Thank you

I’m up now ! — canadadrugsuperstore.com Sell multi-dose vials and single-use ampoules and needles &syringes ( single-use ampoules are not easily obtained from Canadian suppliers , but as you know they are the safest way to inject )

biosenseclinic.com Also supply multi-dose vials and single use ampoules . Also needles and syringes . Best wishes from U.K. !

Hi Wedgewood,

Will those Canadian suppliers post to the UK?

Thanks.

canadadrugsuperstore.com do ship to U.K. . It says so at the top right of the site . But they only have Cynocobalamin , not Hydroxocobalamin. But you can get Hydroxocobalamin ampoules at Amazon.de at the moment .

Just ordered some hydroxocbalamin on Amazon.de about 8 days ago, not sure if it only worked because I have a Uk Amazon account , but the payment sat in limbo for about 5 days and has now been taken from my account so hopefully it’s on the way! Thought this brexit malarkey might cause issues. Ps is the considered opinion that hydro is better than cyano ?

Thanks

Hydroxocobalamin tends to hang around longer than cyanocobalamin. So you don't need to inject as frequently.

Other than that, it's just as good.
