Hi, currently on 1000mcg/1ml methycobalimin SI that comes in 10ml vial. Wanted to change due to cost.
Ordered 1ml ampules of hydroxocobalimin from Pasco in Germany. It says 1ml per ampule and 1500ug. Pic of what I received.
From what I understand mcg and ug are the same measurement so seems the Pasco ampules are stronger. Am I right? I think it's ok to increase my weekly dose or should I inject less of the Pasco? If so how much less?
I looked for videos online about how to use ampules. The one decent video I found showed breaking the top of the ampule then turning upside down like you would with a vial. None of the liquid poured out? Is this how the ampules work? I'm questioning because I see that some of the amule tops are filled with b12 so doesn't look like the liquid stays in the base of ampule.
Also, doing subcutaneous, the needle is so small, not sure how I'd get all the b12 out if thers no seal where I can turn the amule upside down and put the needle in. Pic of vials so you can see b12 at top.
It's probably simple but I feel overwhelmed.
Eta not sure it will let me post 2 pics
