Buying B12 solution for injection from Germany

Hi I am trying to purchase the above. I live in the UK. I have found some on bodfeld-apotheke.de (which I think was recommended on here), put in basket to pay with PayPal & there is a message saying in non-EU countries there may be additional taxes or costs payable.

Does anyone know if this is the case & how much it costs? Is this an ok supplier? I previously bought from my care.de but they told me they were only supplying to UK with a prescription, which I donโ€™t have. Blimey, what a palaver leaving the EU is!

Many thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yes ,the 2 very good German online pharmacies - Bodfeld and versandapo are not sending to UK anymore . I heard it was to do with U.K. tax people wanting them to register to pay VAT . I donโ€™t know if that is the reason . But some smaller online pharmacies are still supplying. Just checked at

apohealth.de , and you can get Rotexmedica B12 depot ( thatโ€™s Hydroxocobalamin) You can choose English ( American flag!) in the top right hand corner . Best wishes .

Just tried to buy & the 100 amps are out of stock. There are individual boxes of 10 amps but at twice the price! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Iโ€™m sorry about that . When I looked , that had stocks ! I just tried another pharma24.de their prices are OK , but courier costs are โ‚ฌ14.90,I couldnโ€™t find a translation site . They do ship to U.K.

Ive tried Amazon.de , but they only have Hevert depot ampoules which are 1mg x 2ml . I prefer Rotexmedica depot , which are are 1mg x 1ml

Well that seems to have worked ok. Fingers crossed! The actual cost of the amps was a bit cheaper than my last supplier. Thanks again ๐Ÿ˜Š

Iโ€™m really pleased for you . . Iโ€™m afraid that Brexit has b*****ed up things for us with our usual suppliers , who were reliable and reasonably priced . But there will always be way around it Iโ€™m sure , because there has to be , as our health depends on those ampoules.

Maybe we should hire a coach and go on a trip to Germany instead (Covid permitting) ?

Those in Parliament are currently way more interested in making selfie promo videos.

I don't know why the government have kept quiet about it, but there's a replacement for the EHIC card (that guaranteed healthcare when in the EU). The new GHIC card offers the same cover within most of the EU.

Thanks so much for sharing!

This thread gave me the confidence to buy rotexmedica depot from pharma24.de. Normally I would only use amazon or trusted pharmacies with trustpilot reviews. But this was the only place who would take paypal from me (in UK) for this particular brand of Hydroxocobalamin.

DHL has emailed me to confirm it has shipped.

My 10-pack boxes of Rotexmedica Hydroxocobalamin arrived in 6 days. It was loaded onto ParcelForce van Friday night but not delivered until Monday morning. Because saturday delivery was not paid for. (Sooo last century! ๐Ÿ™„)

Unfortunately these boxes only have one year until expiry date. June 2022.

Yes we all should. The affects is pure madness and we were lied to so blatenly. It's a nightmare. I had to order from Vietnam, I had never ordered from this company before and I am terrified to use it. It is a very bright red colour and looks like cherry lolli liquid, I am so afraid as how this will end. This is our health that is being jeprodised . There are also shortages of medications for my dog from the vet and surgeries are reporting the same. If you notice b-12 an unusual colour should it be used? Thank you everyone.

Not what you're looking for?
