Trying to Find Needles is Way too Complicated

I recently moved and the Pharmacy I am at now has limited needles. Anyhow, I am tired of getting it from the pharmacy in general so I have tried finding them online and it has been a pain in the a**.

I shoot IM in the shoulder and I draw with 23G and inject with 27G… I know there are a lot of you that have different sizes, I like the longer needle too. That said, I like my routines (to a fault) and I can’t find 1ML Syringes with a 27G 1-inch needle. I have tried all over Amazon which is the easiest. I have tried other sites too. I am struggling and between the sites and pharmacy, it is too darn hard getting the right needles.

I’ve ordered from here a good bit. Fast shipping and what I’ve ordered seems pretty good. My last order of slin pins were a little dull but I was trying the super cheap brand as they had the size I wanted. Everything else I’ve gotten (luer lock) has been great.

Just buy these and buy the needles separately. I doubt you’ll find a fixed needle that size in 1ml

I saw those and couldn’t figure out how you order the needles? Does any brand go on there?

One of many using Google. I’ve found them on Amazon from time to time as well

Or walk into a RiteAid or walgreens and buy some

I tried the Amazon ones and they were cheaper than cheap. All the Pharmacy could give me is a 1ML 25G syringe. The last time I did that in my delt, a good bit leaked. What am I doing wrong?! I have looked at other sites and nothing longer than .5 inch

I can’t tell if the top comes off for me to put the 23G on to withdraw and it was 1 1/4 which is pretty long

yes comes apart.

don’t stick it all the way in.

Okay I’ll give them a try. Your code expired. If you have another one, please share.

only one I see today

Rite aid, CVS, and Walgreens have them

Mine didn’t. They either had a harpoon or 3 ML

I use these for T by deep sub-q:

EasyTouch® U-100 27g, 0.5cc / mL, 1/2"(Box of 100) $14.90 on Amazon

It fills fast.

I have used 30g, 0.5ml, 12.7 mm, BD brand, too, and, also BD 31g, 0.3ml, 8mm with a rack to hold the bottle of T while the syringe fills, as it takes awhile - also, they cost 3x more. I will likely go back to the smaller gauges because 30g has zero pain for me and 31g, jeez, cannot feel a thing (they do bend easily). I bought on Amazon.

I stopped using the harpoons after reading a study showing that abdominal sub q worked … at least in terms of TT levels produced.
