Reputable sites for needles etc ship to usa

Hi

I have my b12 vials I have brought from the UK. I am staying long term in the USA and I have no idea where to get my needles and syringes from. Some on amazon look dodgy /poor quality or seem expensive or come ready prepared. I like to buy needles and syringes separately so I can inject and draw up with two different gauges. Does anyone know any good sites that ship to California? I went into a pharmacy and they tried to sell me a 22g 1 1/4 inch insulin syringe. Ready made up and cost over 7 dollars!!!!

Did you fly the b12 vials with you? Did they ask you for any sort of prescription??

Yes I had them in my checked hold suitcase, I bought online from Germany . I didn’t bring a prescription as I don’t have one

I’m in the UK and I get my needles , syringes, swabs , sharps disposal boxes etc from medisave.co.uk They are excellent . They supply the NHS . I’ve just looked them up and they do ship abroad . But I would get in touch with them on live chat to find out more , if you want to consider them . They have an 0800 number but I doubt if you can use that from the USA .

I have bought needles from USA in the past -from— bulksyringes.com They are more expensive , but then the shipping would be cheaper . Hope that this helps

This site seems to sell to Ca.

These are the size most people use to withdraw the liquid (21G x 1.5") - shopmedvet.com/product/83923

These are the ones most people use to inject IM (23G x 1") -

2 mL syringes are best for 1 mL injections but that site doesn't do them, only 3 mL -

I live in the US and get BD 25 g 1 inch along with one for drawing from the vial for $1.00 each pair.

I tried several different pharmacies to find what I wanted. Good luck to you.

Do you have a prescription? If not then please give the website for your supplier. Many thanks

Sorry. I misread your post. I do not need a prescription for needles in the USA, just go to the local pharmacy. I believe Amazon

had the BD needles as well.
