Getting Needles in Pharmacy's

[mikelong23]

Just wondering for the guys in the US, who has tried to buy needles in pharmacies and what have they said, do u have to bullshit about being diabetic or something, this would be the easiest for me to go down the street and pick up some 23's, all help would be apprieciated thanks

I just walk in and ask for 22 gauge 1.5......they have never asked. If they do just tell them you are getting them for your grandpa that has to take vitamin B-12......don't tell them your diabetic because those needles are much different in size

If in your state it is legal then all you need to do is go to the counter and tell them what you want. Sometimes they ask what they are being used for and some times they don't. But if you buying 1 1/2" pins do say your a diabetic, because them pins are 1/2" long. Just say they are for B-12 injections. If they refuse to sell them then go to another pharm. They are legal except in a few states, which I don't know which ones.

also do they sell them in a certain number, b/c i really only need 8 do u know?

I have had a couple of pharmacies turn me down, but most just sell them to me.

I usually just buy a box of 100....it's like 13.00 dollars...

I just go in and tell them they're vitamin B-12 shots for my dog. Haven't had a problem yet just a few strange looks.

Mike, if you live in Louisville, I would suggest driving to IN ( where I know for a fact they are legal over the counter.. Pharmacist's discretion of course ).. Dont go telling them you need them for your dog, or your grandpa or any of that shit.. You will only look like a junkie to them.. If they want to know why you want them, tell them YOU are taking the B-12, and ordering it from the internet.. Thats what I do, and it works everytime.. A box of 100 3cc 23ga is only around $16, so just get the whole box, and consider yourself stocked up on pins..

hey bro it depends on which pharmacy you go to. i found an eckard where i just walk in and tell them what i want. you can't use the diabetic excuss because the needles are way diffrent. if you have to use an excuss this is a good one. tell the pharmasist oe tech that you need a 1 inch to a 1 1/2 22 or 23 gauge needle, to give your dog a injection inmits hind leg.if they do ask what your injecting then tell them you dog has severe muscle inflamation and you need to give him a shot of cortizone, tell themm the vet. clinic was closed and they told you to come to a pharmacy. look the person straight in the eyes it works trust me but its better to find a place that just gives them to you
