Pharmacy changed from 10ML to 1ML Help

**THORSZ** · 12-14-2009, 11:06 PM

My script is for 1ML a week and my pharmacy used to give me a 10ML bottle monthly. They changed brands and now I get 4 1ML bottles. Anyone know a national pharmacy that still does the larger size? I think I remeber Wallgreens did.
Thanks

So I assume that your using more than your script then. I know Walmart stocks the 10ml bottles and the amps. Why not have your doc rewrite your script?

I found a pharmacy with 10ML vials. I actually called around and said I had arthritis and needed a bigger bottle so I could hold onto it. Whatever you got to do....

Wow prescribed 10ml per month? Thats quite the dose to be prescribed!

Why would they give you 10ml per month when you are on 1 ml a week, that doesnt add up!!

My insurance will let me refill once a month. If I go somewhere that only carries 10ML, then that's what I get.

So in your country they give out 10mls worth of Test per month for 4 mls worth of test what you have been prescribed for the month?

YES...i've been on trt for 4 years...even though my prescribed dose has always been 200mg e3weeks i've had very little problem picking up a 10ml vial every month as the above posters mentioned...problems occur when nosey pharmacists start doing the math and asking questions...since i dont have insurance i only refill as needed when i had insurance i refilled every month as to have some for rainy day and glad i did ...i used my stock pile for a little over a year...arimidex too...i had 9 bottles surplus at one time...lmao...funny thing i made a hall of shame thread...try to find it arimidex and a sweet potatoe....rofl....

Yep, this happenned to me also. I'm getting the 1 ml vials instead of the 10 ml bottle because of insurance. It only costs me $5 though. If I want to get the 10 ml bottle then it would cost me about $125 for tthe 10ml bottle. I'm cheap so I stuck with the 1 ml vials.

not being wasteful isnt cheap....if i only got 1ml amps i'd be in trouble cuz my written dose isnt enuff its only 200mg e3w
