prescription needed for US too?

[EiCa]

I guess if pharmacies in Germany are requiring a script to supply B12 in Europe, the same will apply to the US. I waited for the weather to cool off and was going to order today. I am thinking it may be a waste of time now and I will have to have an appt. to get a script…geez!

[deniseinmilden]

Just try it and see. Some of the German pharmacies are still OK with sending them.

[EiCa in reply to deniseinmilden]

Yep. I am working on it right now. I am having a bit of trouble but so far no prescription seems to be required...apothekemarienbrunn onlineshop...just having a few logistic problems.

[deniseinmilden in reply to EiCa]

Great! Well done! Good luck.

Since you live in the United States it would be easier to purchase from Canada. I get mine through Finlandia Pharmacies. No prescription needed.

[EiCa in reply to Jirl]

I wish I had seen this before I ordered from Germany! Oh well. The order seemed to go through. It was tough last time because it was 6 weeks before I got it but I’d did come eventually so I am remaining optimistic. I ordered more this time as the shipping is the same, no matter the quantity. So I will be supplied for at least two years if this order works out. I will save Finlandia Pharmacy in Canada to my B12 resource list. Thanks Jirl! It can be quite a process but easier than dealing with a doctor/script. As everyone, I am so grateful for this forum.

Here are some other Canadian pharmacy sources for B12 Cynocobalamin ampoules . It’s always good to hav3 more than one source !

Supplies for injecting B12 in USA .( Canadian online pharmacies ) using Cynocobalamin B12 .

biosenseclinic.com Has Cynocobalamin in single use ampoules ( safest method) and multi-use vials .Also have needles 

canadadrugsuperstore.com

Has same as above .

buy-otc.com

Also have multi dose vials and single use ampules .

——————————————————————————

Single use ampoules are the safest   to administer B12. Several use vials are at greater risk of contamination in a domestic situation , where they  are not very rapidly used . 

 

 

_____________________________________________________

bulksyringes.com has needles and syringes          

allegromedical.com         ditto.         ditto

shopmedvet.com              ditto.         ditto 

It is safer to use single-use ampoules than multi-use vials in a domestic situation , because of the danger of contamination, and the fact that a vial is not used up quickly in a domestic situation , unlike an ampoule which is injected within a minute of being opened .  

——————————————————————————

Looks as if mycare.de. (A German online pharmacy)  will deliver to USA 

 Do register ,by clicking on the silhouette at the top . When entering your address , enter your country first using the drop-down list  The USA is referred to as “ VEREINIGTE STAATEN von AMERIKA .   Then the computer will accept the rest of your address . 

You can obtain  Panpharma B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin) single use ampoules 1mg. X1ml 

And Hevert 1mg x 2ml   “.   “.      “       “ 

I don’t know shipping costs . 

—————————————————————————

B12 can be administered by either an Intra-Muscular or a sub-cutaneous injection . 

For an I.M. Injection a 25G x 1 inch needle can be used . 

For a sub-cutaneous injection a 30G x 1/2 inch needle can be used .

A long coarse needle , say 21G x 11/2 inches long,  can be used to withdraw the B12 from the ampoule. This is needed because the needle is made blunt by touching the ampoule . This would make the injection painful .

This information is supplied to you by a private individual , who has been self-injecting  for eight years, using single -use ampoules. 

Best wishes .

I went on the site and tried to register and the translation said I needed some kind of authority. I tried to register and changed the country to the US but it still didn't work. Don't know what I am doing wrong. The Canadian pharmacies are quite expensive. Thank you for any help that you can give me!!

[wedgewood in reply to birdsforme]

As you are a member in USA , it might be useful for you to contact USA member EiCa , who yesterday successfully ordered from a German online pharmacy . You will find her message in yesterdays postings . I believe the pharmacy was mycare.de. They supply Panpharma , Hevert and Pascoe B12 depot — Hydroxocobalamin. The most popular is Panpharma. 1mg x 1ml ampoules . Ref no 16199653 — Best wishes .

[EiCa in reply to wedgewood]

Happy to help if I can!

[wedgewood in reply to birdsforme]

EiCa has written that she will help if she can !

[EllaNore in reply to birdsforme]

I had to right click and tell google to translate the pages. There is no English's version.

[wedgewood]

Some German online pharmacies are still supplying B12 ampoules to countries where they are a prescription item . So do not give up .

[EiCa in reply to wedgewood]

I didn’t. I successfully placed an order today. I am crossing my fingers but it worked a year ago. Thanks for motivating me to buy it now.

[wedgewood in reply to EiCa]

Excellent! I’m so pleased for you ! Perhaps I should not have scared everyone with what I found out . but I felt that I should . Forewarned is forearmed ! Let’s hope that some German online pharmacies will continue to supply the prescription only B12 ampoules to U.K and USA 🤞🤞🤞Best wishes .

[EiCa]

Thank YOU for the heads-up!

[MoKayD]

I order from Canada without any problems.

[wedgewood]

German Online Pharmacies are not asking for a prescription to supply B12 ampoules to other European countries . Sone, not all are refusing to supply B12 ampoules to U.K. where a prescription is required ( that’s why we get our ampoules from Germany , where the ampoules are an over -the-counter item . It is one of the German online Pharmaceutical rules that prescription only items are not shipped to a country where a prescription is required . They don’t ask for a prescription as it woukd be too difficult dealing with a foreign prescription .

Luckily some German online pharmacies turn a blind eye to this rule where B12 ampoules are concerned . But i have noticed that a growing number are enforcing the rule . That’s what was worrying me .

I don’t think this applies to Canadian Online Pharmacies .

The day Wedgewood posted this, I ordered 30 ampoules of PanPharma hydroxy and I am so pleased they came in about 3 weeks this time. (US) I, like everyone, am disappointed that they have only a one year expiry date but they look exactly like the two I have left from my last order. I will likely use them past the expiry date if I have any left. I still inject about every 3-4 weeks but just may increase my injections to see if anything else improves. I have a lot of meds and supps to manage with side effects so I am cautious trying to sort it all out.

The point is, year two of ordering from Germany was a breeze. I am crossing my fingers that this importing process isn’t restricted going forward as everything seems to be changing. Getting a hydroxy script in the US was a nightmare and then sourcing individual ampoules was not an option. I used apotheke-marienbrunne.de.

I hope this is helpful to someone. I was reluctant to buy from Germany because the shipping to US was 33.17. However, I just ordered 3 months (9 cartons of 10 ampoules) worth of Hydroxy for a total of 97.88, including 33.17 shipping. The cyano from Canada cost me, for only one month, (3 cartons of 10) plus $13 shipping was a total of $132.91. So clearly the German source for B12 is much cheaper even though the shipping is $33.00 the ampoules are cheap. and it is better B12 than cyano. I am so excited to try it! I now have 12 months worth of B12!! I am so relieved. Thank you all for all this info. This will save me so much money! What would I do without this place?

No prescription was required for me. So far anyway. No one has called or emailed to say I can't buy it.

I finally figured out to right click and say translate to english using google. What a difference that made LOL😀😀😀

[jade_s in reply to EllaNore]

Woo hooo! 🥳🥳

[EiCa]

Thanks for the “right click” translation tip. I can translate so easily on my I-phone but not my laptop. You paid less for shipping than I did! My German source charges $40 no matter the size of the order. Fortunately I don’t use that much so it is not a huge issue…especially compared to the hassle of getting it here in the US.

[EllaNore in reply to EiCa]

You're welcome. It was too hard from my phone so I did use my PC. Yes, I noticed that shipping was the same whether I bought one 10 pack or 9, 10 packs. So I bought 9. LOL I can not wait to try Hydroxy. I'm in Iowa. I don't know if that matters. It says $40 shipping but when all was said and done it was only $33. and some change.

[EiCa]

It will be interesting to hear if you feel the difference between cyano and hydroxy...let us know!
