locating b12 injections

[ElRR]

Can anyone recommend a pharmacy that sells b12 injections (methylcobalamin)? I know there are places online that sell them, but I'd feel more comfortable going through a pharmacy. So far, I've had no luck finding one. (Getting a prescription will not be a problem.) Thanks!

You can find many aesthetic places now offer B12 injections for about £30 by a qualified nurse. Try googling your area and you don’t need a prescription

Ask on the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum, some members there buy their own:

Injectable substances like B12 are prescription-only medicines (POM) in the UK.

As SeasideSusie suggests, the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum is probably the best place to find trustworthy sources. However, it appears that fewer and fewer German pharmacies (hitherto the most favoured sources) are willing to supply the UK. Quite possibly a consequence of brexit.

Many over there use hydroxocobalamin and there have been quite a few discussions as to whether one form is safer/better than another.

I'm not sure if prescription B12 will be cheaper than buying ot privately. Perhaps someone can provide more information? I'm in a B12 share group. Someone does a bulk order from Germany then shares postage & packing at cost price, usually around £35-£40 for 40 1.5mcg or 1mcg/1ml vials.

It's OTC in Greece €4.50 for 3 1mcg/2mls. I've bought it when I've been T3 shopping but find it painful to inject.

My local needle exchange kindly provides equipment, though not everywhere is as helpful.
