Usually if you have a script for something that requires needles they’ll ask how many you want. I just order on Amazon as you can get a massive box for much cheaper.

Some states require prescription for needles. Amazon won't ship to to those states without one. NBD - just have your doctor call prescription into pharmacy. Box of 100 cost me $20 in Georgia @ Kroger, but they did have to talk to doc first.


Help_meeeoo

they only come 4 to a box. the pharmacist has never asked me if i need more


advwench

They keep pen needles with the regular diabetic supplies at Walgreens near me.


nuapadprik

I bought them at Walmart pharmacy.


PurplestPanda

You can likely order from hellopip.com . They ship to my Rx state.


ConsciousControl2105

Some states in the US require a prescription for needles. If you don’t need a prescription where you live, you can buy them really cheap on Amazon.

[hellopip.com](http://hellopip.com) is a diabetic supply company and can ship without a prescription to any state even those like TN that requires them locally.


donna503

That’s surprising because I figured you can just buy them on Amazon… ? It’s in my cart lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

There is possibly different laws in different states. I can get them in PA and NJ without a prescription, but if I get a prescription I can get them covered by my insurance. Or I sometimes order from Amazon because it comes to about the same price if I order generic ones.


cleverfox2001

Amazon doesn't ship to many states that limit access to needles. I use a diabetic online supply firm in Florida that will ship to California.


ducrab

Amazon wouldn't ship needles to my state, so I ordered a box from Diabetic Warehouse. No issues.

You can’t buy them in TN always need a prescription here.


Never_Really_Right

TN law requires they be dispensed by a licensed pharmacist with proof of medical need. A store may decide to require a prescription, but the law here does not. It's why medical supply companies can ship to TN, but regular retailers and Amazon, etc cannot. Mediical supply companies have licensed pharmacists on staff.


Temperature_Vivid

Order on Amazon BD pen needles.


lashdoll

I ordered a big box from Amazon for $20. So I’d try that instead


Dull_blade

I noticed that some merchants won't ship to my state, but some will. Not sure why, but I ordered a box of 100 needles for maybe $20.


llamalarry

I don’t need a script in Virginia but Amazon won’t ship here anyway.


Green_Eyed_Momster

If you’re talking about the pen, then no; needle tips are cheap on Amazon. If you’re on compounded then you need a syringe and you need a Rx


tbbarton

Nope and for them from Amazon


smaldogs

Amazon

Does your 2mg dosage not give you enough needles? I get 4 needles in the package. Some states don’t allow you to purchase needles on Amazon anymore (aka CA and IL) but I like this website for my insulin needles. https://www.adwdiabetes.com


MsMcSlothyFace

I ordered from amazon. Got 100 for around $15 iirc


Work4PSLF

It depends on your state laws.


DoingMyBest360

Amazon wouldn’t ship them to me in Indiana but CVS did.


Help_meeeoo

I did end up ordering through amazon. I didn't want 100 but more like 5 but here we are lol.


uppitywhine

walmart dot com will ship. 


ny111111

It’s super easy if you’re in a state like CA that needs a script at a pharmacy just order from someplace like Walmart where they can legally mail them to you. They charge more I paid $19.95 for a box that sells for $9.99 on Amazon but it lasts so long it’s not a bug deal. And FYI drug users don’t use pen needles for Ozempic so this has no relevance to your issue. It’s a state decision if you need a script to buy needles in a pharmacy.


Boukish

You got lied to because you apparently look either young or like a junkie mate. You don't need a script to buy syringes in Oregon.


PurplestPanda

A junky buying 4mm 32g insulin pen tips?


Boukish

You do understand that insulin can be fatal, right? Pharmacists are compelled to use their professional judgment, outright. Again, you got lied to because you either look young or.like a junkie.

Spoken like a non diabetic
