Hi All , Does anyone still manage to purchase B12 injections from this company in Germany as I am trying to register and I can only get as far as the country of residence as the UK is not listed ?

Bodfeld no longer supplies the U.K. hasn’t for quite sometime now . But not to worry , here is some information for you

The following reliable German online Pharmacies (all registered with the German Health Authorities ) will deliver VitaminB12 Depot ( Hydroxocobalamin)single use ampoules to the U.K.

vesandapo.de( in Leipzig) Site is in German . Use Google Chrome for translation . This is usually the best value pharmacy. U.K. is “Vereinigtes Königreich”

Courier cost €9.99

apohealth.de ( in Munich) Site available in English . (Union flag , bottom left on my device .)

Courier cost €20.00 for 10 packets . Lower cost for fewer packets .

apotheke-marienbrunn.de( in Leipzig) Use Google Chrome for translation . Also deliver to Australia , New Zealand and USA . Drop-down country list is in German and U.K. is called

“Vereinigtes Königreich Großbritannien und Nordirl”

juvalis.de Use Google Chrome for translation

First of all register with the pharmacy .

When filling out the address form, you will see that the country is already filled out with Deutschland / Germany .You must first change that to your own country by using the drop-down list to — U.K., United Kingdom , Vereinigtes Königreich — however it is expressed.Do this so that your post-code and the rest of your address is accepted . Otherwise,you will be unable to order , and you will be tearing your hair out

amazon.de also sell Pascoe and Hevert . But depending on the supplying pharmacy, may or may not supply to the U.K. You can’t use the Pharmaceutical reference numbers to order from amazon.de . You must use the brand names .

The following brands are usually available.

PANPHARMA ( formerly Rotexmedica)

1mg x 1 ml ampoules b12 DEPOT ( Hydrocobalamin)

Packet of 10

Pharmaceutical reference number 16199653

Most popular ampoule . Good value , but often out of stock .

PASCOE b12 DEPOT packet of 10 —1.5mg x 1ml ampoules

Reference no. 07568672

Packets of 10 x 10 ( 100 ampoules ) Reference no.07568695

The Pascoe are much cheaper per packet if you buy the offer of 10 packets . If you inject weekly or more frequently, you will be covered . Otherwise , the ampoules may become out of date .

HEVERT B12 DEPOT 1mg x 2ml ampoules 1 packet of 10 reference no. 06078368

HEVERT B12 DEPOT 1mg x 2ml 10 packets (100 ampoules ) Reference no. 06078380

Use the Pharmaceutical Reference numbers to order from the pharmacies, it’s easier , but not if buying from amazon.de

The above brands also produce Cynocobalamin B12 single use ampoules. They are cheaper than Hydroxocobalamin., but reputed not to stay in the system as long. Fine to use as long as the patient does not suffer from the rare eye-condition called LEBERS. Cynocobalamin is widely used in the USA I do not have the Pharmaceutical reference numbers for the Cynocobalamin ampoules.. Cynocobalamin is referred to as vitamin B12. Hydroxocobalamin is referred to as vitamin B12 depot.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING .

Now that the U.K. has left the EU , there is a limit to the value of goods that we can order before tax is due .Tax is applicable if the value exceeds £135.00 ( roughly €158.00) Value does include delivery cost . On top of that , Royal Mail charges £8.00 for handling

I’m not sure how much the tax is , so please look it up .A member was quite shocked at what she had to pay when she exceeded the limit . YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

With best wishes .

Royal Mail only charge £8.00 if they have to handle a parcel for which duty has to be paid ( i.e. goods that cost over £ 135.00 )

Is there anywhere you can purchase methylcobalamin for self injection? Thanks

wedgewood in reply to DownAndDesperate

In the past I have obtained Methylcobalamin ampoules from Arnika manufacturing pharmacy in Munich . I read on this forum recently that they no longer send to U.K. but , You could enquire at. manufaktur@arnika-apo.de Or phone +49 89 452 468-468

They understand English .

ampavit.com sell Methylcobalamin ampoules Made in Thailand . They have a U.K. phone number 07521423114 and email sales@ampavit.com

Oxfordbiosciences.com sell powdered Methylcobalamin.Needs to be reconstituted with saline from German online pharmacies ( prescription only item in U.K. ) It’s called NACl 0,9% ref no 02737756 (20x 10 ml)

perniciousnanemia.org Sell Oxfordbiosciences powdered Methylcobalamin at much higher prices , but it is interesting to read their instructions etc

Hope this helps .

Thanks. I’ve had it from Oxford bioscience before but it ends up so expensive that I was wondering if there were other places. I’ll look into the other suggestions. Thank you.

I’m afraid that Methylcobalamin is the most expensive of all the forms of B-12 .

Just found a very expensive site where Methylcobalamin is available . Very good instructions on how to inject Intramuscularly into the thigh . On site in Brighton .
