Hi. My gp gave me a prescription for 1mg/1ml b12 to be injected. When I got back from the pharmacy and opened it, there was a small sealed bottle that had no opening and no needle? Never had one before. Do I have to take the bottle to the blood testing place for them to inject it into me or do I have to self Inject and request a needle from pharmacy?.

Probably best to ask on PAS healthunlocked as well if no one here has an answer
