Karina G Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Looking to address a B12 deficiency. There used to be someone in Ajijic Centro who gave shots, but I also heard some scare stories about those. Anyone know where else they might be available/who would administer? Alternatively, would like to find a source for sublingual spray supplement; patient doesn't do so well with pills... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgo lady Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 B 12 shots - easy to do at home. Just get the B 12 liquid (Cyanocobalamin Injection, usually comes in a 10 ml small bottle) and a IM syringe (get 10 of them). 3 ml size, 25 G x 1 inch (.5mm x 25mm metric) Each dose / shot is typically 1 ml, takes 30 sec to do at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holalola Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 The pharmacist at Farmacia San Andres gives my husband his B12 injections. She's on the Carretera between Dental Express and Penthouse Gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bowie Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I strongly advise checking the actual vial/box the B-12 comes in, as I tried several pharmacies a few years ago and they were giving B-6 and calling it B12. Fortunately, I read things before I take them. YMMD, but this is Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
