Has anybody tried 2ml hydroxocobalamin im to reduce number of injections per week? Would be interested in their experience.

Thank you.

The 2ml ampoules that I know of ( Hevert from Germany) only contain 1mg of Hydroxocobalamin, i.e. the same amount as the popular Panpharma 1ml ampoules , so there would be the same reaction to them .

I have tried the Pascoe Hydroxocobalamin ampoules which are 1.5 mg x 1ml - so 50 % stronger . I found that I still needed the same amount of injections . But we all react differently .

your body will shed the excess so better to do them more frequently than high dose less frequently. I do what Wedgwood does, 1.5/ml daily. I can't seem to space them out or symptoms come back. And as Wedgwood said, we are all different. Anything you try will take a week or more to have an affect, unlike insulin which is instant. Thus experimentations take a little longer.

If your symptoms are still fairly unresolved I wouldn't try spacing injections. Wait until you feel 85% of norm or more.

I find I can space 1.5mg/ml Pasco jabs to every third day which give me the same dosage as 2 off 1mg/ml . Saves time nd money.

I think you mean 1.5 mg not 1.5ml Probably a typo. I don’t think that there is a 1.5 ml ampoule .

1.5mg / ml = 1.5mg per 1 ml

I've seen 1mg per 2ml, which is more diluted.
