please help how many ml is 2500 micrograms in an ampule

hello all,

I received ampules for the first time from b12 store.com and they came in 2,500 mcg per ampule. I inject 1 ml normally of methyl b12 from a vile and this is the first time I used an ampule from this supplier. I was thinking I will just fill up 1 ml on the shot and fill up another if I'm correct. and there will be a little left over. so is 1 ml the same as 1000 mcg?

thank you,,

Rosina

if it’s an ampoule, I think they’re single use only. Is it a little glass bottle that you have to break open?

How many millilitres is in each vial? It should say 2.5mcg/?ml

The volume ( ml) is always written on the ampoule, along with the weight ( mg) It doesn’t have to be the same figure as the the weight (mg)

Mine is 1mg/1ml but I’ve seen some that are 1.5mg/1ml etc.

I think it sounds like a single use one, don’t you?

Yes , ;it will be if it’s in an ampoule. High dose though . Yes . The German Hevert ampoules of B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin) come in single use ampoules of 1.5 mg.x 1ml .

That’s 2.5 mg . A high amount for a single dose . But on the ampoule itself it should state the amount of liquid that is in the ampoule . ( ml) as well as the amount of B12 ( mg, or mcg) This should be printed on the ampoule itself . Where are the ampoules manufactured , and what type of B12 is supplied .

Cynocobalamin, Hydroxocobalamin or Methylcobalamin.

Ampules are for single use . Vials are multi-use containers .

I managed to get onto theb12store.com . They did not state what type of b12 that they supply or where it was made . You need to know that.

hello wedgewood,

it is the methyl b12 and it is in micrograms 2500. but she said i would need to put it in 2 syringes. So I'll have to do that. I could not find where it was made at thought.

hello,

So I emailed b12supplies.com and she said it's concentrated so you all were correct, I would have to take .5 ml so it would be 1250 mcg so I can make it a little less so it will be closer to my normal dosage of 1000 mcg per one ml. thank you all for your support.
