Where to get B12 ampoules

[Csl1]

Hello all. I ordered Rotexmedica B12 ampoules from Bodfeld a few days ago and have had a message today saying they are not available from the manufacturer and that I will be refunded. Any suggestions for an alternative? I still have a few boxes from the last time I ordered but they expired in April so not sure if I should still use them as a last resort

Yes there are difficulties at the moment . Something to do with Brexit . I have ordered some Rotexmedica B12 depot. from BODFELD , but I had to pay by Bank transfer . They are not accepting any other payment method at the moment .pharma24.de have Rotexmedica B12 depot 1mg x 1ml at €7.00 for a packet of 10 . courier costs €14.90 no matter how many you buy . The site is in German so you might need to use Google Chrome or a translation app .

Amazon.de also have B12 Depot made by Hevert , but they are 1mg x 2ml ampoules . i.e, Same strength but in twice as much saline . At the moment they don’t have Rotexmedica B12 depot .

You can get this site in English . Some pharmacies that supply Amazon .de do not deliver to U.K. , so you may need to try more than one source .

Make sure that you order B12 DEPOT. B12 ampoules,without the qualifying DEPOT are cynocobalamin, not Hydroxocobalamin. They would work , but need injecting more often

Hop that this helps you . Best wishes

Thanks. I’ll try pharma24.de. I can understand some German. I paid Bodfeld by bank transfer when I ordered the B12 depot but they then advised there was a problem with the manufacturer and refunded me. A bit odd as it is still available to order on their website.

That is odd ! Since Ist Jan there have been problems.

I can’t believe how much you all are paying for B12 ampoules it’s madness

[wedgewood in reply to Queeniz]

Do you know how we can get them at a reasonable cost ?

[Csl1]

I only paid £43 for 50 ampoules including delivery so at 86p per injection I don’t think that is expensive at all.

[Queeniz in reply to Csl1]

Oh My God I pay €30 for 100 ampoules

[Queeniz in reply to Queeniz]

Tell a lie with postage €45

[wedgewood in reply to Queeniz]

Please let us know where you bought them and were they Cynocobalamin or Hydroxocobalamin B12 ampoules ? Thanks

[Queeniz in reply to wedgewood]

My friend sends them to me, he’s German

[wedgewood in reply to Queeniz]

Cynocobalamin B12 ampoules are cheaper than Hydroxocobalamin.

When I bought Hydroxocobalamin B12 ampoules at a High Street Pharmacy in Germany , the price for them was higher than buying them from a German online pharmacy , who offer many items with discounts , which High street pharmacies do not .

That was ordering with pharma24

I ordered from pharma24 —- 100 Rotexmedica B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin) ampoules and they cost €70.30 plus €14.90 courier . Received today ., Unfortunately with a use-by date of June 2022 . I always expect a use -by date of at least 2years . So not very pleased . I have written to complain .

[Tadaa in reply to wedgewood]

Please let me know if anything comes from your complaint. I also got 100 ampoules from them that expire june 2022. Thanks.

[wedgewood in reply to Tadaa]

I will . I emailed them , but i’ve heard nothing back I will try to find a phone number . Iam furious about it . They know that we are private people and not a clinic . ... It’s disgraceful . I was not rude to them , but i feel like getting rude !

[wedgewood in reply to Tadaa]

I have at last received a reply —. “A 6 month use by date is normal practice . 13 months is more than acceptable . We are sorry about this occurrence “ yours etc .... “ I think the membership should be warned , that they only guarantee 6 months use -by date .

I an FURIOUS - all the other German online pharmacies sell ampoules with a use by date of 24 months or longer.

[Tadaa in reply to wedgewood]

Thanks for letting me know. It is disappointing.

I will probably use mine past expiry date. Read that they don’t become toxic, just possibly less active. I’m just glad to have got ampoules you guys recommend. Same as UK prescriptions.
