I get a needle of vitamin B12 every week or two. When I was in the US, I couldn't buy my injectable B12 or needles without a prescription. I went to my doctor's office and they gave me a shot for $5. In Canada, I can buy everything I need to give myself my B12 shot. The problem I have is that I can't stick myself with a needle. It's a bit ironic...
In the US, you do need a prescription. In Canada, you ask the pharmacist for what you need.
I live in San Diego and I just walk to the pharmacy counter and ask for them. No script needed.
