    Pharmacy changed from 10ML to 1ML Help

    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....

    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
