uptheos Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Dr Morgan has given me B12 IV in the past, but I would imagine she would need a reason to give it to you. Her contact details are on the pinned list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 the Aden health food store on Nimmanhemin sells it they have the subcutaneous type which has a little needle to pass the skin If you want intramuscular injection then need a syringe. Maybe pharmacies have that type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildpikey Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 There is a Pharmacy near Chiang Mai gate heading West, just before the Wilai road turn. They sell boxes of Vitamin B12 & also B complex. They also sell the syringe (You will probably need the 3ml size) and Needles (25 gauge / Orange coloured) This is for deep Intra muscular so ensure you follow safe injection practice.

It is to get the double the local rate prices from foreigners into the owner's hands faster. They make the prices up as they go along....just go in and see.

Gonsalviz Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Most any doctor or semi-doctor will give you one. The semi-doctors are not allowed real medicine so that is what they give to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMNL Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Beware of local made ones as they are not so reliable and the ampules break easily, you could have a piece of glass draw into the syringe with the injection itself!if you plan to DIY the Japanese made one is by far easier and better.

thepool Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Injectable B12 is intended to be used for the medically supervised treatment of serious illness. If the substance is not prescribed it is not needed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernjohn Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I get a shot every month from Doctor Morgan. She say's two shot's a month would be OK. So far I have managed with the one shot a month. All though the last two weeks are a bit more painful. The wife has a daughter who can get it for me and her husband has some experience with giving shots. Doctor Martin just explained to him how to do it so she is sure that he would do it rite. I also get some Vitamin B12 from iHerb in the states. Occasionally I will pop one of them.

You might as well not bother. B12 is a water soluble vitamin and regularly eliminated from your body through excretory products such as urine. Because of this, you must take water soluble vitamins regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusd Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Uptheos... Not entirely true. I,am a GP. a vitamin B COMPLEX , meaning a group of B Vitamins is far more beneficial..

All are ok. The body will rid itself of excess. Marcusd. Via tapatalk I don't know whether you are a GP or not, but that's irrelevant. Their can be many reasons for taking B12, lets say as methylcobabine 1-2 grams sublingually on an empty stomach. One reason quite established is for peripheral neuropathy, in which case a Multi B Complex would be very little use as the dosage is far too small, they are probably of very little use anyway. There are combinations of Vit B1 B6 & B12 that can be bought in high doses, but Vit B6 is know to cause peripheral neuropathy. The best way is to choose your B supplements for a particular reason, not just shove a load of B vitamins down, which can be adequately received from food.

bina Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 b12 for people that cant get it through food products or dont eat products with enough b12 (from meat/eggs/and some minor other sources). and some poeple jsut dont have enough possibly due to absorbtion of nutrience issues. my duaghter is one. i also have a low amount sometimes but am a carnivore so must have some underlying reason that no one has discovered. injectins are painful. daughter uses the sublingual and tests once a year or symptomatically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I have found that taking B Complex AND a single 500mcu of methyobal keeps my B12 levels at the optimum level (as determined by blood tests). That combination gives the benefits of Methycobal (B12) and B Compex (I have an absorprtion problem which causes glositis and B Complex fixes that).

Blackmores Exec B's, shop around and you can find 120 tabs for 490 baht, alternatively you can pay up to THB 1,000 for the same bottle!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
