I can't buy Insulin in California?!

[smokethedays]

Ok, so i walk into about 5 pharmacies so far (Sav-on, Walgreens, CVS) and non of them would sell me Humalog without prescription.
I thought that Rx is not needed to buy insulin, is it?
please correct me if i'm wrong.

lol. your right....and wrong.

MOST insulins dont need a script.................except for humalog.

hmm i c thanks man,
however Humalog is better since it's active for the least hours, right?

[AnabolicBoy1981]

yeah. thats the thing that sux.

i guess humilin-r is your next bet.

Humalog and Novalog both require an Rx. Any of the other slower acting insulins do not.

I did that once and it worked out well, came from Canada. The next time I tried to get it, US customs snagged it 2 times and I was never able to get it through. I now use humulin -R and cant tell any difference between the two. No more sides from the humulin-R for me.
