Sourcing B12 to SI

It’s been a while since I SI. GP stopped my injections since lockdown saying I should just take tablets after 15 years of injections. I’m not feeling well atm at all. My mobility has gone downhill and my balance is awful.

Can anyone advise the best place to source these days please? I did see a definite improvement when I was SI every other day about 6 years ago.

Many thanks in advance

Your doctor is displaying the usual ignorance about Pernicious Anaemia . Lifetime injections are required , not tablets , after 15 years.

You can obtain B12 depot Hydroxocobalamin from excellent German online pharmacies .

I assume that you had Hydroxocobalamin b12which is the usual form of B12 used in the U.K. now . . Another type is Cynocobalamin, which used to be the one used . It is still obtainable from the German pharmacies, but it is not called B12 depot , just B12 .on the German sites . No prescription required in Germany , as it is an over the counter item there , I like the U.K. .

HOW TO OBTAINB12 (Hydroxocobalamin) AMPOULES FROM REGISTERED GERMAN ONLINE PHARMACIES 

Things have changed regarding ordering b12Depot ampoules( Hydroxocobalamin ) which is what is used by the NHS in U.K. 

I use apohealth.de They do not  charge for delivery , You can choose to have the site in English ( bottom left ) . Pay with Paypal or card .  This pharmacy sells world-wide , but not to New Zealand or Australia 

versandapo.de You need Google Chrome for translation . 

There are a few other German online pharmacies that deliver to U.K.  I will add these when I find out  Always good to have an alternative .

mycare.de  Use Google Chrome for translation

Some of the pharmacies that supply Amazon.de with Pascoe B12 depot ampoules  and Hevert b12depot ampoules do supply U.K. , but not all. 

You can’t use the reference numbers to order from Amazon.de 

You have to use the brand names .

—————————————————————

For New Zealand and Australian friends , here is a German online pharmacy which will supply them.

mycare.de( use Google Chrome for translation . ) 

—————————————————————

Australian chemists  which deliver to  Australia and New Zealand chemistwarehouse.com.au 

onlinechemist.co.au

I advise registering , This makes subsequent ordering simple.  Put your country in FIRST by clicking on the drop-down country list . Your post-code and the rest of your address will then be accepted . 

You can use the following  reference numbers to order 

Packet of 10 Pascoe B12 depot Hydroxocobalamin single use ampoules 1.5mg x1ml —07568672 

Ditto 100 ampoules 07568695

—————————————————————

Packet of 10 Hevert B12 depot Hydroxocobalamin single use ampoules -1mg x 2ml 06078368 

Ditto 100 ampoules.06078380

Unfortunately our favourite ampoules , the Panpharma brand B12 depot -Hydroxocobalamin ( previously Rotexmedica ) are at the moment unobtainable. But we hope that they will soon be obtainable again 

( Ref no 16199707 )

The above brands  work very well but are unfortunately more expensive than Panpharma  .  But when needs must………. 

Best wishes .
