Hi, Am now officially out of vials and for some unjustified reason cannot seem to order anymore hydroxocobalamin from amazon.de. I last ordered in October last year & everything was fine though post Brexit & fast forward seven months - am stuck!!! My energy levels are waining by the day too.
Am desperate and my GP sadly won't help as they say Covid is their top priority...
Can someone offer some assistance pls?? Where are people ordering from now?
Thanking you all in advance.

Brexit has caused problems for German online pharmacies who were supplying Vitamin B-12 ampoules to U.K. They now have to register with U.K. customs and collect any VAT for them and also have extra paper work,because we are no longer in the single European market. So many of those pharmacies have given up shipping to U.K. . Some , thank goodness, still do .
bodfeld-apotheke.de. A large and reliable pharmacy But they will now only accept payment from U.K. by Bank Transfer . Simple if you have mobile or online Banking .They supply all the information that you need to make a transfer . Otherwise a trip to your bank , for which the charge is £25.00 !
Courier €9.89
You might be able to pay using your Amazon account . Worth a try !
The drop-down list of countries on this site calls the U.K
“ Vereinigtes Königreich Grossbrittaniens und Nord Irland “ United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland “ (In case you don’t recognise it !)
The Rotexmedica packet is displayed blank . You don’t see the usual red and white packet for some reason Maybe because Rotexmedica has been bought by a French company, Panpharma , and they expect the carton to be changed( I don’t really know) But not to worry - they send the right stuff in the usual packet .
pharma24.de Courier 14.90 This pharmacy sent me 100 ampoules with a use -by date of only 12 months , where other are 2 years and more . I complained , but was told that 6 months is an acceptable use-by date, and they had sent me 12 months . So ,if you use this pharmacy , don’t order more than you would use in 1year .
Amazon.de ( German Amazon ) Obtainable in English Often have Hevert B-12 depot ampoules which are 1mg x2ml ampoules ,if they don’t have Rotexmedica 1mg x 1ml . So same strength , but double the amount of liquid .
“Depot” indicates Hydroxocobalamin, which is what the NHS uses . Amazon delivery charges are reasonable.
——————————————————————————
Search for Rotexmedica B12 depot . ( Hydroxocobalamin) These ampoules are 1mgx1ml
Ref. number to get straight to packs of 10+ -03862297
For packs of 100 ampoules (10 x 10) 03862305
This is correct for June 2021 . Can be out of stock sometimes , but back in a day or two .
If a site is only in German , use a translation app , or Google Chrome .
Bear in mind that some sites refer to the U.K. as
Vereinigtes Königreich Grossbritannien und Nord Ireland ( United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) on the drop-down country identification list
Also plain” Grossbritannien “ . The sites named above do all ship to U.K.
Amazon.de are selling Hevert B12 depot Hydroxocobalamin ampoules . They differ from Rotexmedica in that they are 1mg x 2ml ampoules . They don’t have the Rotexmedica at the moment.
