go to treepatrol's links..

i started something on SPECIALTY LABS...can't think of name as usual; but it showed labs for various states, and i/others showed the prices we were paying...

if you don't get any hits; check tree's hard work. [Smile]

Ahhh! Betty & Tincup... 2 of my favorite gals.
Well, Tincup, I always found McGuff in Santa Ana to be pretty reasonable. Last I bought from them-in mid-May of '08- the 30 ml vial of 5,000mcg/mL was just 45 incl quick shipping.
That's 5 mg per 1ml injection, though, which'll turn yer U-know-what a nice mango orange. [Wink]

But for a buck & a 1/2 per shot (see above date) it undercut anything up here in NH. (I use the 'B-D' 1ml 25G 5/8" syringes as they aren't as foreboding as the big ones/ I'm lean.)

Fallon Pharmacy charges 40 for three injections per week for a month supply and 9 dollars shipping. Get 2 months together (the shelf life is 2 months for the substance), and you save 9 bucks.

Could be a different price for different dosing, but that's what I paid.

Infuserve was $45.00 shipped for a 30 day supply.

TC,

I've checked everywhere and...

College Pharmacy out of Colorado is the cheapest I've found.

25mg/ml in a 30 ml vial runs about $50.

I buy two vials at a time to save on shipping, but then I take 25 mg every night -- about five times what most people use.

They have been very decent, too. Once when there was a problem, not even their fault, they sent me another two vials free, no questions asked.

Whoops, it runs 39.99

Posted by hoot (Member # 19281) on :

Are the vials that you receive preservative free??? I think if you have a multi-dose vial that it needs to contain a preservative (probably aluminum of some sort--not a good thing for people that already have issues to contend with). Please check this out.

I get preservative-free pre-filled syringes for my son from Coastal Compounding. $105 (plus about $10 for shipping). His Rx is for MB12 25 mg/ml inject 0.1 ml (2500mcg) every other day. These are pre-filled syringes so probabaly cost a little more per dose. I order 2 months worth so they send 30 syringes.

$99 for a month supply of pre-filled syringes plus needles of MethylB12. Tell them you are a Lyme patient.

My ND who is a friend gets me the 30 ml bottle from McGuff's, and it's about $20. his price, plus shipping.

I think a doc has to order it, so you usually get their mark up, which tends to be 100%, so Kete's $45. incl. shipping sounds about right.

A box of syringes is cheap, but I forgot the price.

Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :

Well... dang me!

I keep going over all this good info...

And then realize I keep forgetting I didn't say THANK YOU!!!!!

Duh me!!! Soooooo....

Thank you ALL for the suggestions!!!

I am digging into each of them now (and did earlier too)... and appreciate having even ONE reply..

So this is very unexpected and GREAT!!!

Got my head swimming!!!

College Pharmacy in Colorado uses benzyl alcohol 1% as the preservative in the multi-dose vials.

Posted by 'Kete-tracker (Member # 17189) on :

30 shots of 25mg methylcobalamin per ml... for $40 & S/H from CO sounds like the hands-down winner.
I just wonder if the stuff stays in solution O.K. Seems my LLMD ordered prefilled syringes once with 25mg/ml B12 in them & it precipitated out of solution along the sides of the syringe after a couple weeks.

I ended up filling smaller syringes with the red fluid that remained. It Worked!
