Brands of hydroxcobalamin

[Nackapan]

Eryctol Depot 1mg/1mlGerot and lannach ( Austrian)

I started with Gerot and Lannach at the NHS surgery.

However I'm sure the box said

Hydroxcobalamin NOT

Eryctol Depot?

Anyone familiar with this?

I feel okay after being injected with this yesterday at the surgery.

Any scientific answer please to why name changed .

Or any difference known please.

Patients information leaflet I can't find online.

My prescription I collect is

Hydroxcobalamin 1mg/1ml

Accord. ( panpharma)

Have also had.

Neo-cytamen.

The NHS often change suppliers ;

Cost driven.

Shorter expiry dates

I realise alot generic but after reacting badly trice to one brand ( proved to have different additives )

Wary.

Be interested to hear about this.

Thanks. The old boxes just had hydroxcobalamin on them.

I wanted to check additives but can't access leaflet.

Assuming that GL Pharma from Lannach are actually Gerot and Lannach, this is the official UK Patient Information Leaflet:

Marketing Authorisation Holder and Manufacturer

G.L. Pharma GmbH

Schlossplatz 1, 8502 Lannach, Austria

mhraproducts4853.blob.core....

This lists:

The other ingredients are:

Sodium chloride, glacial acetic acid, sodium acetate trihydrate and water for injection.

Very slightly different to NEO-CYTAMEN.

This search will always find the Patient Information Leaflets for all currently licensed hydroxocobalamin products:
