Ennio 0 Posted October 11, 2020 Hello everyone, Brand new user looking for advice. So I'm cycling test c and it's becoming next to impossible to find insulin syringes, or any other type for that matter: between yesterday and up to a few minutes ago I've been to circa 12 chemists, high street boots to mom and pops pharmacy and NO ONE does either needle exchange or actually sells them. When you go online Google says you can buy syringes at any chemist, boots website says they do needle exchange at any store, independent chemists with a website says the do needle exchange except in reality no one does it. Yesterday at my local chemist was comedy time: I had my mobile with me showing the pharmacist their website saying they do N. E. so he said "wait" and then came back to me saying "We don't do needle exchange because of covid" GOOD LORD! Because of covid? And how is covid impacting N. E.? Come on! So I politely asked WHERE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Green 21g needle to draw and grey (27g i think) needle to pin. Warming the vial in a pocket for 10 mins before using will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sic Ric 3 Posted November 4, 2020 I get all mine from needle exchange - free! theyre the same ones as can be ordered from exchnage supplies so if you dont have an exchange near you (or dont want to have to go there!) then they are very reasonably priced - about £3 for box of 100 1 LilDickie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHMuscle 95 Posted November 7, 2020 Ebay is the easiest option by far - plenty of choice on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sic Ric 3 Posted November 7, 2020 Local needle exchange - asmany as you want for free! if you can’t or don’t want to go there, you can buy them from exchangesupplies.org. About £3 for 100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youdontknowme 928 Posted November 7, 2020 Admittedly I haven’t been to an exchange since before. Lockdown, but the one I used only gave out the packs; 10 greens, 10 blues, 10 barrels and 10 swans as Well as a bin. I’d just grab 2/3 at a time. I seen on here people were struggling with exchanges so just went on medisave or whatever it’s called and ordered 100 blue, green, orange, barrels, swabs. 20£ all in I think and here in 2 days. 1 Sic Ric reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerBeardGainz 0 Posted November 8, 2020 Pop into one of your local chemists and simply ask and tell them what it’s for... only downfall is that they either think your a junkie or a juice head. . . Hopefully your big enough for them to no which one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chr1sterfer 32 Posted December 18, 2020 I literally go to a place called the harbour center where they give you loads for free. Google needle exchange and name of your city then call them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
