You can buy B12 single use ampoules from some German online pharmacies . Try apohealth.de . You can get it in English .Select the American flag top right ! I Would do register. Needles and syringes from Medisave.co.U.K.
Please take recommenda from Wedgewood. After reading post earlier today I easily ordered online from site recommended. I think it cost me around £50 for 1ml ampoules of hydro. You are worth it! There is an option at the bottom of the screen to translate to English and I found the site really easy to navigate. Wishing you all the best.
I asked because you wrote that you had paid £50.00 for 100 ampoules originally . €65 is about £55.00 So i don’t think you have overpaid , especially if it includes shipping . 55 pence for one ampoule is really a good price . Prices vary from pharmacy to pharmacy , but they are always discounted at the online pharmacies . I bought some when i was in Germany from a high street pharmacy and they were considerably more expensive than online . Best wishes . 👍
My maths is very poor Wedgewood so that's why I thought I'd been duped for a second there! It was a seamless process so now I should have a decent supply to see me through the months ahead.
I’m so glad that you have got a supply . It really worries me that there are difficulties in obtaining the B12 ampoules now since January 1st . I would be in a panic if I couldn’t get them . They make all the difference to my life . It is really crazy that we cant get them OTC here in U.K. . I’ve been left with foot problems, which I can keep in check if I get my B12 shot weekly .
Sorry- I didn’t notice that the boxes only had 5 ampoules . I’ve never seen boxes of 5 for Rotexmedica B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin) , They’ve always come in 10s . This make seems to be the most popular with forum members . In that case , yes ,they were expensive . What make were they , if you can remember ?
I see now that you have bought 50 ampoules 5 packets of 10 at £10.40 a packet . . Buying 10 x 10 is much better value , £58 for 10 packets , but you probably don’t need that many . It’s a bit confusing that if you go on the site in English , prices are quoted in GBP , but when you pay, they are printed in Euros. So thats solved . Thanks for responding to my queries — I was mystified when you said that they were packets of 5 . I like Rotexmedica because it’s only 1ml to inject . Hevert is 2ml and more expensive . It’s Rotexmedica that sometimes is out of stock because it is popular !
They ship by courier and charge €9.89 for that . They have not been supplying to U.K. since January 1st , but I managed to order last week. I am registered with them . 👍
Thanks for that. I'm relieved I've bought packs of 10 as that's what I've bought previously. The sell by date is good on them so they won't go to waste. I've pasted a copy of your reply to my phone so I've got details of the other site. Apologies for hijacking original post but very grateful for advice received.
Bodfeld was the pharmacy I used all the time before January 1st , so I am used to the layout , so I find it easier . I would probably say the same about apohealth if I was familiar with it !
Hi Wedgewood, my order was delivered yesterday. 5 boxesof 10 ampoules. Coincidentally, I found an old receipt last night and my previous orders have been packs of 10 for a similar price so I've well overpaid. Ah well, we live and learn.
Yes , you won’t do that again . But don’t grieve too much . Even at that price , it’s not too much to pay , ( but still very annoying ) when you think of the benefits ! Good luck !🍀💉
Search for Rotexmedica b12 depot . These are Hydroxocobalamin ampoules They sell packets of 10:for about £10.00 and 100 ampoules — 10.x 10 packets for £58.00
Each CCG/Health Board/NHS Hospital Trust in UK will have its own local guidelines on treatment/diagnosis of B12 deficiency.
If you have the time and energy, it might be worth tracking down the local guidelines on B12 deficiency for your area of UK and comparing them with BSH/BNF and NICE CKS links above.
Pandemic
If you think your treatment has been affected by the pandemic, have a look at the links below.
I've written some very detailed replies with more B12 info eg causes of b12 deficiency, symptoms, B12 books, B12 articles, hints about how to deal with unhelpful GPs etc that you may find of interest.
I got some two weeks ago from apohealth. Easy to order and delivered within three days. Don't let the system determine your health. Eat good nutritious foods and self inject as frequent as YOU want or need.
It's a battle you don't need to fight with a GP, just take your life back into your own hands.
The doctors only ever dish out pharmaceutical drugs which are loaded with chemicals and they lower our vitamin and minerals.
Nature intended for us to eat nutritious food which in turn keeps us well and healthy.
I am a sugar addict and my health rapidly declines when I'm eating it.
Good luck and embrace this beautiful new day you have woken up too. ❤️
Thanks everybody, got to charge laptop, then I will go on website and try again.
As for complaining about treatment, been there previously, medical records altered, mp involved his response NOT ANOTHER ONE. Got kicked out of surgery for complaining. Cant do that this time as I will have to travel over 10 miles and surgeries don't like taking people outside catchment area.
Already walking on thin ice.
Been given antibiotics for ear, got allergic reaction
After two drops........ cauliflower ear .
Like electric shocks in ear.
Rang surgery, putting up stronger pain killers.
Been here before a few years ago exactly the same thing
Eventually got b12 which resolved problem.
A vitamin that costs next to nothing.
It's also worth looking up b12 and ear problems,
Been having problems for 40 years, yet when I
Managed to get b12 in germany, injected once a month
Never ever had problems, didn't have to go to doctors
At all .
God bless you all, and hoping one day NICE (health organisation) will actually be nice to us.

Ordered b12 Thursday night, just arrivedExpires 11/2023. Christmas come early.
When first diagnosed I spoke to a well connected
Doctor and talked over treatment etc.
He said to me
It's not what the doctors tell you that you have to worry about........ it's what they dont tell you!
After giving him all the proof I received letter from himSaying that it was against the data protection act, etc
Mp useless as regarding b12.
I do believe there were heads rolling. Strangely three
Or four years later I had letter from nhs Birmingham
With a questionnaire rating the surgery I'm with now.
When I spoke with dr he asked if I had been diagnosed
With b12, I said yes 15 to 16 years ago. One has to
Question whether some notes from my old surgery
Have gone missing, on purpose.
Now have written five pages of of tests results etc.,
Sorry to say have no confidence in nhs, two years ago
Had doctor saying that I'd had liver transplant, funny
I haven't got scar or recollection of this.
Anyway on a positive, found someone with PayPal
B12 on it way.

My youngest brother has just informed me he has now been diagnosed with b12 deficiency. I have been trying to get him to take b12 for several years. That's the fifth member of the family.
Like you said before, Hidden - in the old days, with a family GP who knew all of you and had time to think, this could well have been picked up earlier and made life a bit easier for the next generation. Easier for GPs too to feel confident in their diagnosis.
