B12 injections

[Mike77]

Hi ..Iv noticed that I can get b12 injections from beauty places but is this ok as I thought b12 was prescription only ? Is this allowed

[wedgewood]

it is allowed as long as they are not making any medical claims for the injections. They usually say it’s for weight loss or something similar !

Yes legal but expensive and a rip off But if needs must an option

Hi,

You may be interested to reading Tracy Witty's recent blog post about the classification of B12 by MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products

Regulatory Agency).

B12 injections from beauty salons are mentioned.

My surgery has continued my b12 injections throughout the Covid problems. My cousin’s surgery refused to give her hers. So she was forced, in desperation, to pay an exorbitant amount at a beauty place.

Iv managed to get b12 from a site in Germany..it was quite quick .4 days but they have sent 2ml ampuals is this ok ? Or just use 1 ml and dispose of the rest ?

Mike77 use all 2ml ampoule . Ampoules come in 1ml or 2ml but contain the same amount of b12.
