    Sealed package = sterile 100% Same as what doctors use.

    Do NOT clean the needles with anything, not even alcohol. You will remove the special sterile coating to make injection easier.

    You *should* be fine. Not sure what a needle costs since in AUST we get them free. But surely there isnt a profit in making counterfeit needles

    Ahhh the evil counterftit needle racket, they run in par with the counterfit drinking straw factory.


    Gotta watch out!

    Lol but seriously.. If you are that worried get themlocally or from a chemist. Do what ever makes you feel comfortable.. Just remmeber to steralise injeciton site first and dispose of needle properly.

    Best of luck
