Vitamin B12/ Neurobion

[Abercrombie]

I would love to know the reasoning behind changing Vit B12 from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 3 drug which effectively means getting a prescription.

It's a bloody vitamin for ^&*^%# 's sake.

[JanJan]

I'm not sure, but here are my reasons:

• People with undiagnosed Lebers disease used B12 and went blind.
  
• Mothers feeling a bit lethargic during breastfeeding used B12 too much and harmed their babies.
  
• The age old problems: Mixing B12 and alchohol and they don't read the labels on the vitamins.
  

I would still say take your chance at Dischem's dispensary without a prescription.

I too used to go quite often for a B12 injection during periods of heavy training until this RIDICULOUS need for prescription came about...
