I also have this injection every 12 weeks, I go to the medical center by the arches, they give me a prescription, which covers 6 ampules, I take them back to the surgery, get my injection and they store the remaining ampules for me. I do of course pay for the prescription and injection, but it is very simple and straight forward

Thank you, that is very helpful. I have to have the injections because I cannot absorb the tablets. Do I just ask for B12 ampoules at the chemist then make an appointment at the doctors?
Thank you.

I get a prescription from the Doctors, if you go to the medical center by the arches, the nurses all speak very good English and they will explain it all to you. I too cannot absorb vitamin B12 and it was my only concern about living here, but now it is as routine as it would have been in the UK, Good luck.

I buy mine at the pharmacy opposite Gama in Dona Pepa, no prescription needed.

I brought some over with me but they are due to expire end of March but you are welcome to have some to tide you over. (Given two years supply by my GP in uk but ampoules only have 12 month shelf life so plenty left over) I had been going to Medicare at a cost of 25 euros but they recently changed their policy and so went to the doctor at the arches. As I had my own ampoules I was charged the princely sum of 7 euros for the injection and was in and out in a flash. Now that I know you can buy the ampoules at the Farmacia opposite Gamma, my whole problem is solved.

Well that's very kind of you, thank you very much, but it's ok, now that I know I can buy them I will go and get some and get my injection done at the doctors.
Thank you for your help and information.
