Where to but injectable B12 in the UK

[area16rep]

I was diagnosed in Apr 2018. I bought extra injections from Germany and I have ran out. I get 1 injection every 6 weeks prescribed by my GP but self injected. Can anyone tell me where I can buy more. The b12 I am using is neo-cytamen 1000micrograms/1ml or hydroxocobalamin 1mg/1ml. Can anyone recommend somewhere? I'm in the UK.

b12 ampoules for injection can only be obtained with a prescription in the U.K. But Some German online pharmacies will supply ampoules to U.K. . No prescription needed in Germany. Hydroxocobalamin B12 is the B12 of choice in NHS . It’s is described as B12 “Depot “ . Here are some of the pharmacies that will supply the U.K. . They run out occasionally , but get fresh supplies in a day or two .

German online pharmacies that will ship to U.K.

Brexit has caused problems for German online pharmacies that were supplying vitaminB12 ampoules to the U.K. They now have to register with U.K. customs and collect any VAT for them and have extra paper work , customs documents etc because we have voted to leave the single European market .So many of those pharmacies have given up shipping to U.K. . Some , thank goodness,still do

The following are the various brands that are supplied..

Panpharma ( used to be called Rotexmedica) have 1mg x1ml B12 depot ampoules

Hevert have 1mg x 2ml. B12 depot ampoules .

I have been using vitaminb12online.com for 6 years and never an issue getting them into the UK

I’m confused by the dosage of hydroxo offered……10,000mcg in 2ml? Isn’t this 10 times the normal dose?

[JenMartins in reply to JanD236]

Yes it is and a game changer for me.
