pharmacy

Yeh at the pharmacy. Behind the counter in the pharmacy section. They have all different sizes and gauges and would be able to special order them from their wholesaler as well if needed. I used to do it a lot when working at CVS.

thx. i checked the CVS webpage and didn't see it.

12/29/2009 6:44:57 PM

^^ I'm curious, how much shit do you have to give people before they can buy syringes?

12/29/2009 7:32:25 PM

my friend is a pharmacist and tells me ab addicts coming in for them all the time

there is no shit giving. my understanding is you ask for them and you get them

12/29/2009 8:21:57 PM

If you pay for them, I don't see why they should care what you do with them (unless you're injecting people with poison or something ). Better an addict use clean needles than who knows what from the street.

Yeah, I was just wondering. Seems like I saw an article or something a few years back about how some states try to make it a pain to get syringes.

12/29/2009 9:04:30 PM

i guess it could depend on the state

for the record when my friend told me ab this she was working in illinois

12/29/2009 9:57:06 PM

well it depends

do you need them with or without the needles?

12/29/2009 10:01:10 PM

I buy them at the local feed store to vaccinate dogs and livestock.

I recommend insulin syringes in 1cc, with a 27 gauge needle. should have them at the local pharmacy.

That's what I mean it's behind the counter and special order. It usually comes with other prescriptions because they can be filled as a part of a prescription and billed through insurances if needed. They won't show up on the website.

It depended on the pharmacist that was working. Some were more skeptical of certain people and just would restrict the number I could give out and some would let me sell as many as we had in stock.

don't do drugs.

Like everyone else has already told you, just ask the pharmacist for them. If you don't need the needles, they're easy peasy.

Please dispose of them properly.

If you have to ask this question, I'm going to assume that you do not own a sharps box.

You could go to some type of non-chain pharmacy. I've found that it's easier to get things like this from the small stores than places like CVS.

12/31/2009 10:12:31 AM

i got some from a friend, w00t

1/6/2010 11:21:40 PM

What if you want needles?

1/7/2010 12:38:29 AM

rite-aid... i hope these are for diabetic purposes only. it's not very smart to shoot.

1/7/2010 2:15:38 AM

i would assume that if this was for medical purposes the OP would know this

shame shame

If you don't have a sharps box, use an old bleach or laundry detergent bottle.

If you don't have that, then use the cover for the syringe to bend the needle back and either remove the plunger or bend the needle in half (back and forth) until the plunger breaks to render the needle unusable and safe. This generally only works on smaller needles, like insulin syringes that I use.

I think I'll just leave it at the playground down the street

In IL syringes are rx only. This encourages needle re-use instead of discouraging drug use like it's supposed to. In NC you can walk into any pharmacy and ask for syringes at the counter. I get them at CVS when I give vaccines because theirs are generally higher quality than the feed store ones. I don't want to use a dull needle on my cat. I never got any crap from the pharmacy, but I used to work for a vet and know what I want so I'm not just walking in and asking for needles. The biggest problem is that some of the pharmacies only keep 1cc in stock, and some others only want to sell 3cc by the box.
