b12 purchase

Hi

I was treated by GP for low B12 for a year but once my levels were midway on “normal range” the injections were discontinued and I struggle to find ways to boost my intake orally. I have just purchased Hydroxocobalamin online but am unsure if the dosage is similar to that I was previously prescribed. The 2ml ampoules contain Hydroxocobalamin 5mg, sodium acetate hydrate,sodium chloride, water for injection and acetic anhydride. Does anyone know if this is similar to prescribed b12?..

The dose given at the surgery is 1mg/1ml .Single disposable ampoules containing hydroxcobalamin.

I personally have not come across 5mg ampoules.

5x as much .

Others may know more of how to use these

Challenge your surgery ax well if you can as leveks shojid not be measured once on injections.

If an absorbtion problem of any kind they should prescribe for you.
