It's not easy to find methylcobalamin for injection. Usually hydroxocobalamin or cyanocobalamin is available from German pharmacies.

If you want methylcobalamin try sublingual liquid mixed with adenosylcobalamin

Dear Agala,I don’t know why you want to use Methylcobalamin to treat your Vitamin B12 deficiency . If you have Pernicious Anaemia you will need B12 injections . I have tried Methylcobalamin injections , and found it no better than Hydroxocobalamin, which is the B12 of choice here in U.K. .

Methylcobalamin is expensive , difficult to obtain , and unstable , especially in heat . … But somehow managed to attain an aura of magic around it . …… I don’t know why . But one of our scientists on here once explained to us why Methylcobalamin was no better than Hydroxocobalamin.

Anyhow , I have found a German online pharmacy that does send to Nigeria.

You may need to use Google Chrome or a translation app .

Do register, and fill in the address form by PUTTING IN YOUR COUNTRIES NAME FIRST ( click on the drop-down list next to where “Germany “ is printed . )

The most popular B12 ampoule we use here is Panpharma B12 depot . ( ref no 16199653) Put that number in to get straight to the item) This is Hydroxocobalamin —to be kept dark and under 25 Celsius.

Best wishes .
