Hydroxocobalamin contains hydroxocobalamin acetate and as best I know do all inc panpharma. . . . . Remember to order 2 or 4ml syringes as the hevert comes as 2ml. . . . Makes no odds to you SI. .. . . . Just press the plunger a little longer. . . . . A 2ml syringe s better that a 1ml twice which I had to do for near 100 times as I had bought 1ml which suits pascoe. . . . . I do like pascoe though and it is in 1ml but 1500ug so many simply draw up just over 0.6ml. . . . . . Really easy to do . . . . . Hope that helps a little. . . . Note I use both as and when and I only buy 2 and 4ml syringes as my supplier is cheaper and even my GP clinic dont use 1ml. . . . .

Thanks for quick reply, I've just checked my current box of B12 depot and it does say acetate..I was just panicking. I have been trying to find the really helpful post from Wedgewood regarding suppliers and reference numbers of the B12 depot but, can't seem to locate it..I thought I had saved it but, obviously not. I don't suppose you have a copy that you could re-post...thanks for you help

Here is the information!

The following German online pharmacies will deliver B12 depot single use ampoules to U.K. .

apohealth.de. ( in Munich) Site is obtainable in English (Union flag, bottom left on my device ) also deliver World wide and USA.

versandapo.de ( in Leipzig) Site is in German . Use Google chrome to obtain translation . This pharmacy is usually cheaper than apohealth They ship to EU and U.K. only .

apotheke-marienbrunn.de ( in Leipzig)

In German . Use Google chrome if you need translation . Also deliver to Australia New Zealand and USA.

shopapotal.de

When filling out the address form , you will see that the country is already filled in with GERMANY / DEUTSCHLAND . You must first change your country to “ Vereinigtes Königreich Grossbrittanien und Nord Ireland “. UNITED KINGDOM , U.K. VEREINIGTES KÖNIGREICH however expressed .on the drop-down list . Do this so that your post code and then the rest of your address will be accepted , .

Other wise you will be unable to order,! and will start tearing your hair out !!!

Amazon.de also sell Pascoe and Hevert , but you can’t use the pharmaceutical references to order Obtainable in English . You will find that some supplying pharmacies will ship to U.K. . Some will not .

The following brands are obtainable

Panpharma ( formerly Rotexmedica ) b12 depot 1mg x 1ml ampoule ( depot indicates Hydroxocobalamin) ref no 16199653. This is the most popular ampoule used by PAS members .

It is the best value , but sometimes /often is out of stock . You can then opt to be emailed to be told when it is back in stock .

If the Panpharma b12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin ) is out of stock , you may like to consider the Panpharma Cynocobalamin . B12 The pharmaceutical reference number is 16199707 .

Cynocobalamin may need to be injected more often .

Pascoe B12 depot 1.5mg x 1ml ampoules- Packet of 10 ref no 07568672

Pascoe b12 depot 1.5 mg x 1ml ampoules-10 packets of 10 ampoules (100)

Ref no 07568695

The Pascoe are much cheaper per packet if you buy the offer of 10packets .If you inject weekly , or more

that would cover you .

But if you inject less frequently, the ampoules may become out of date .

Pascoe Cynocobalamin b12 Reference number is 03262634 for 1 packet (1mg x 1ml)

Pascoe Cynocobalamin B12 Reference number is 03262657 10 packets 100 ampoules ( 1mg x 1ml);

Hevert b12 depot 1mg x2ml ampoules packet of 10

Ref no 06078368

Hevert b12 depot 1mg x 2 ml 10 packets of 10 ampoules- ( 100)

Ref 06078380.

Use the pharmaceutical reference numbers to order , much simpler than using brand names , and then you know you are ordering Hydroxocobalamin, not Cynocobalamin , which the companies also sell . But some patients like Cynocobalamin B12 . It is the B12 of choice in the USA , and cheaper than Hydroxocobalamin It’s just called B12, NOT B12 Depot

When filling out your address form, do fill in your country first of all . “Germany”/ Deutschland : will be displayed , so you must change this with the drop-down list which will appear , — to U.K./ Gross Brittanien/ Vereinigtes Königreich Grossbrittaniens , — how ever it may be expressed. If you don’t do this , your U.K. address and post code will not be accepted , and you will end up in a tizzy . We don’t want that !

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING

Also do remember that now the U.K. has left the EU , there is a limit to the value of goods that we are allowed to import, before tax is due on items coming from the EU . Tax is applicable if the value exceeds about £132.00 , but I’m not sure of the figure , so please look it up . On top of that there is a charge of £8.00 made by Royal Mail for processing it. I’m also not sure of how much the tax is . But a member has been shocked by what she had to pay when she ordered over the limit . . So please be aware of this , and check . I believe that even the cost of delivery charge is included in the total . It was when I ordered something from USA .

Very best wishes .
