Where to obtain B12 ampuoles

Hi,

My doctor stopped my B12 at injections because my IF test was negative and I'm now "topped up" apparently. I was initially put on oral B12 when I was first tested a year and showed a deficiency and a half ago, the level actually went down after two months of oral supplements which surely indicates an absorption issue. Anyway I've got a blood test in two weeks, so I'm hoping she'll see that the oral supplements don't work. It's now sixteen weeks since my last injection and in I'm feeling terrible, just wanting to sleep all the time and my arm and leg are feeling really horrible numb, burning, worse than I can remember. I guess I have to hold out until the test because, but depending on the outcome I'm going to have to start self injection, I think I will anyway as even when on the injections I was finding they are wearing off and the doctor won't increase beyond once every three months, that's it she even lets me have the injections again. Anyway I've been looking into acquiring the B12 ampoules but it seems every pharmacy in Germany I look will not ship to the UK. Has it got very difficult to obtain the ampuoles? Can anyone help me out with a hint of where to look?

Thanks

Unfortunately when I click on the link it just goes to a page saying that the domain name is for sale. How long ago did you order?

Your doctor ( and you ) should know that a negative IFAB test does NOT mean that you do not have PA . About 50% of PA patients test negative . The first consideration should always be SYMPTOMS .

There are definitely two German online pharmacies that will deliver to U.K. .

versandapo.de

healthapo.de You need to take care when filling out the address form . Always put in your country first before the rest of your address .

The most popular B12 depot ampoule (Hydroxocobalamin) is the Panpharma. Ref no

16199653 .

You can also obtain B12 depot from amazon.de ( available in English ) but they do not supply Panpharma

They have Pascoe B12 depot (Hydroxocobalamin) 1.5mg x 1ml. In packets of 10 ampoules or 10x10 ampoules

Or Hevert B12 depot ( Hydroxocobalamin) 1mg x 2ml in packets of 10 or 10 x 10 ampoules .

you have to create an account with the German sites before they offer postage to the uk.. versandpo and apohealth are both good sites to order from

Hi,

I don't have anything to add about where to obtain B12 but I thought you might find these threads useful.

Should have some info you can use to try to get GP to start injections again.

I’ve used apotal.de for past three years & have been very reliable. Use the translator then becomes very easy.

Not what you're looking for?
