recent moved to Melbourne from NZ.

I was self injecting, due to next to useless doctors. My test result was 2 points above deficient.

I would like to continue them in Australia, anyone got any advice on getting the supplies.

I know there was shortages for them recently, so not sure if this has corrected itself.

would prefer online.

Look for Pascoe b12 depot for Hydroxocobalamin and also Hevert b12 depot

Depot means Hydroxocobalamin They also have Cynocobalamin just called vitamin B12

Pascoe reference no is for packet of 10 — 07568672 for packets of 100 ( 10 x 10 ) 07568695

HelloPolkadot02,

Welcome to Oz.

davidjonespharmacy.com.au has everything you need, at reasonable prices.( hydroxycobalamin, needles and syringes) The shortage seems to have come to an end, thankfully, but we are all a bit nervous and tend to keep plenty of supplies on hand in case it happens again.

All the best settling in. Unfortunately Australian doctors seem to be on par with their colleagues around the world...

Most Australian pharmacies supply Hydroxocobalamin over the counter, no restrictions or supply issues. Doctors follow similar guidelines as the rest of the world of three monthly B12 supplementation but, many self treat according to symptoms, such as myself.

And, on a final note, happy Easter to all on this forum, enjoy the holidays.
