miscalculation, she found she would need one more month supply for the
insulin injection needles before she go back to China
Did anybody buy the insulin injection needles here for your parents before?

发帖数: 1009 | 2 In some states, you can buy insulin syringes with needles directly from the
pharmacy.
My suggestion for you is to take a small vial of your mom's insulin to the
pharmacy, ask the pharmacist which needles you should buy. There's a variety
of needles.
Also, there's a limit to how many syringes/needles you can buy per day, you
will also sign your name in a log for legal purposes.

pharmacy may have records, some do not. So if you shop around to different
pharmacies, you can get them.
There are 1cc, half cc and 0.3 cc syrances. The needles are catagerized by

thick skin can not use large gauge syranges, for example, 31 gauge, because
the needle will bend a | t********6

I'm living in NJ. Just called CVS, the pharmacist said that I need a

发帖数: 41 | 6 Tried a Walgreens local store yesterday. The pharmacist told me that NJ
state law prohibits to sell syringes without prescription.
And, guess what? I successfully bought two boxes (100 syringes each)of
NovoFine insulin injection needles last night online from Walgreens' website
. No prescription required! Haha....
Hope this information could help others. |
