Nasal B12

[jess9395 5,450]

I use the sublingual B12 from Walgreen's. It is a tiny pink pill and melts like butter in seconds. Taste is ok.

What brand? I have tried two so far and they take like 20-30 mins to dissolve! Would love one that dissolved quickly.

The sublingual B12 that I pick up at Walgreen's is NATURE MADE. It has 1000 mcg and I got the cherry flavor. For real, it melts under your tongue in seconds! Nature Made products are often in their weekly ad and come "buy one get one 50% off"

Thanks! I will check those out!

My doctor recommended it, but my insurance doesn't cover it because they consider it to be "just" a Vitamin, not a drug. So, it was too expensive for me to go that route. :-(

I love love love nascobal!!!! As soon as I take my puff I feel energized!!! You can go to their site and print a coupon for a coupon card. My insurance does a 3 mth supply for $35. I tried sublingual B12 and it's Nothing compared to nascobal.

I'm currently using the Nascobal now, and my surgeon told me about this plan called ProCareRX which will ship to you a month's supply of the Nascobal, as well as a month's supply of their chewable Multivitamins, their Calcium chews, and chewable Iron pills (if needed), and with insurance coverage I only pay $25 a month. This works out great for me, since it's a one stop shop and covers everything I need post-op! I like the nasal spray, and all the chewable Vitamins actually taste pretty good!!

My insurance wouldn't cover it. I can't afford the $300.00 plus. It is too new and needs to come way down in price.

I am also using the nascobal pkg and seems to be working for me. I don't love the chewable vitamins but they seem to be going down better lately. I just wasn't sure the difference between the nasal spray, sublingual, and shot.

I have a question that maybe one of you can answer. I'm pre-op and still about a month to two months away from my date. However, this morning I received my nascobal (nasal B12) along with 3 different chewable Vitamins. My question: Should I go ahead and start taking these now, before surgery, or wait? I put in a call to the program's office but of course it's Friday, late afternoon so it'll be Monday before I hear back.

[jhaymom 38]

I don't think it can hurt to start with the multi, and calcium/D. I might wait until after for the B12 and/or Iron. I don't take the iron now anyhow, I'm not anemic.

Thank you @@jhaymom! I think you're right, plus since the nasal B12 is only once a week, I won't be too far behind if they call me Monday and tell me to take it too!

I would go ahead and start...you certainly wouldn't be doing yourself any harm, it would be good practice, and it would be one less thing to start up with post-surgery...wishing you the best with everything!

@@BryBro63 I really appreciate the feedback! I saw you take the nasal B12 too. Do you feel it "works"? I heard from some people in my support group that injecting b12 is the way to go, but I trust my doctor too. Just wondering what your personal experience has been.

Doctor's office provided coupon which said I had $25 co-pay, but when I went to pharmacy, they said fine print says price is more than $300 with the coupon. Frankly, I think this price is outrageous!

[BryBro63 410]

I think my true test will be when I get my bloodwork back next week, to see if my B 12 levels are better...I think if that works out, I'll stick with it. My insurance still covers it for now, so I think I may be good as far as paying. If things change, then I may go back to the pills... $300 is way too much to pay for the convenience!!
