Purchasing syringes online

Postby carl08854 » Sat Jul 07, 2012 7:30 am

Up until about a year ago my vial of injectable always came with a dozen syringes. I had so many syringes that I thought I would never run out. Well guess what, I only have four left. Does anyone buy them on line or do you just go to the pharmacy and get them? Do you need a script to get them or can you just make the purchase?

Carl, for the last three years i have been buying them at Walgreens, no prescription
required, you just need to sign a slip indicating what you are using them for.
I buy the B&D 30ga 1/2 , you can buy them 10 in a package or 100 in a box,
28 dollars for the box of 100.

I believe each state must have a different law covering the purchase of syringes. In New Jersey, you need a prescription. The prescription also gets it covered by my insurance and allows me to deduct the copayment portion against my taxes.

Carl,

I posted this somewhere in another thread, but I'll repeat here.
Easy Touch Insulin Grade 1/2cc x 31g x 5/16-100 count $12.31 from Amazon.com - FREE SHIPPING!

Pretty awesome price and no admitting to some cute young thing pharmacist assistant why you are purchasing them.

Reminds me of a Funny joke/comment I've always wanted to tell the pharmacist assistant when picking up the Trimix prescription:

"Can you please hurry? My wife is waiting in the car out front" ...

But I doubt that they would get the joke. Oh well.

Hah .. I do love that one ... works for condom purchases too!!
