    What to tell pharmacy why I need pins???

    What are some good ideas??? I was thinking of telling them that they are for B12 injections.

    I do but I have herd that they still ask why you need them and can refuse to sell them to you.

    They will ask for a script in regards to being a diabetic usually. That's what happened to me back in the day.

    They have all the right to deny you. If they believe you will use them for something other the what you mentioned, they will not sell you them.

    It may be different where you live, but my local CVS only carries in stock slin pins. They said they would have to order any other size pins since they really didnt have a demand to carry them in stock. But, like I said, they may carry them in your area.

    Then why not wait until they arrive, then start your cycle...
    Do not ask me for a source check.

    Walgreens sell them for 50 cents each....if you ask for the 3ml ones, they don't usually ask for script. If they ask, tell them you're on TRT through an Endocrinologist. If they insist on proof, go to another Walgreens. I've only ever had one clerk in a Walgreens ask.

    Good luck

    Drugs stores shouldnt have that behavior, thats why so many Edited users in the world have AIDS, cant get pins and have to share

    Here in brazil we dont need prescription to get it, you can order from here

    I have been on trt for a couple years . Walgreens and CVS never ask for script .
    I have also ordered pins separate to keep point sharp after I draw meds .

    Just go in there confident and not like a nervous kid buying a condom for the first time .

    If they say no , try next drug store .

    Obtaining sterile needles is only clicks/types away. Much more convenient via internet.

    Just based on my experience...getting pins at a store can be a huge PIMA--particularly on the East Coast. I was traveling for biz to various states and I stopped asking in drug stores in every state I went to.....PA, NJ, NY MD, DE.....no drug stores in any of those places would sell me anything. I order from get**** or AR-R.....cheap and come the next day in a plain brown box.

    B12 injects. You own a farm need them for vaccines. You breed dogs..same story. Order them online,,you answer to no one then.

    It surprises me that nobody else has ever gone to a livestock feed store to buy syringes.... Fewer questions there then a pharmacy.
