This might be a long shot but has anyone been prescribed Lubion and had to source the syringes themselves?

I've been prescribed it by my fertility clinic but we have to source the syringes ourselves and we're a bit stumped over where to get them.

We've been told we need:

- syringe

- large needle (typically 21G green needle; for intramuscular administration)

-- small fine needle (typically 27G grey needle; for subcutaneous injection)

There seems to be quite a few variations of the 21G and the 27G so I hoped that someone who had been prescribed this could point me in the right direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just having a look....Terumo 2.5ml syringes. Just look that up as different companies have different amounts and prices. The syringes were BD microbalance needles....they come in all size. I felt I could get away with just the fine one for drawing up and injection as the 27G but you can get both if that's your preference.xx

Thanks! Do you know how many inches I should be looking at?

I bought one inch. To be honest it doesnt matter the much....the length isnt a problem but the width of the needle the 21g or 27g is the most important thing. The higher the number the finer the needle. Hope that helps.xx
