If you get B12 injections with your GP , they will always be Intra-muscular injections . But if you self inject , you can use the Sub-cutaneous method .and inject with a shorter needle ( 1/2 inch ) into tummy fat or into the front of the thigh . Works well .
I have b12 ampoules prrscribed for Subcutaneous Injectiond at home.I have intramuscular at the surgery .
Sc are off licence for b12.
But possible.
My gps sought a neurologists advice.
Best to get NHS b12 prescription first.
Go from there.
Depends on where you are? In US I get my preloaded SC syringes of MethylCobalamin from a pharmacy in Hopewell New Jersey. I'm not sure why IM injections are used unless SC does not work first. I've always had SC and they work perfectly.
Not what you're looking for?
