Chain pharmacy does not have 10ml vials

ad

I go to a doctor for trt. I am prescribed 1ml test cyp per week so the doc wrote my script for a 10ml vial. I go to get it filled at a big national chain pharmacy(no naming srcs, so I will not say which pharmacy) and am given a 1 ml vial and told they do not carry 10ml vials because they are only good for 28 days after first use. I don't mind going and getting it filled every week, but I am paying over twice as much getting 1ml at a time as opposed to getting 10mls at a time. Has any one else ever heard of this, deep down I feel like my srcs is scamming me because they make more if I fill 10 scripts than they do if I fill 1.

Your pharmacy is playing games. Don't accept that answer. Tell them you want the quantity the doctor prescribed. If they refuse to fulfill it, tell them you will take your business elsewhere. Call all the pharmacies in your area and inquiry if they carry 10ml vials. My pharmacy gives me 5ml bottles. My step father gets 2ml vials. I pay less than him.

I had to talk to the pharmacist and request a 10ml vial.. FYI I use good RX and I do not buy my script through insurance. I believe that’s why I get a 10ml vial. My insurance would only allow single ml vails at $15 a script. I get my vail for $45 ( with a good RX coupon). So it comes out to the same cost. Hope that helps bro.

So maybe try not using your insurance-if it’s feasible. It might be way cheaper.

I was going to post this. Good Rx allows you to compare prices between different pharmacies. One just has to type testosterone cypionate and select 10ml of 200mg/ml. I think the prices range around $40 $60.

I agree.....that was the same issue that I had.Thought it was the pharmacy at first but it was my insurance that wouldn't let me get 10mil vials.

Thanks for info

Yes I have! Maybe the USA will go to amps one day like the rest of the world pharma stuff! This is a step in that direction! I remember the old pharma grade Deca came in one cc & two cc little cute bottles! I miss those..

My insurance doesn’t allow more than two months of a script at once. So picking up bottles is not an option. They mail me 5 pre loaded syringe is the first of every month. But my doctor is very cool about needle and syringe size based upon where I want to inject. So he’s written me a script out for four different lengths and gauges.

What do you use 18g for? That’s a Harpoon

PPGfreak's picture

I always use 18g to draw my gear and then switch back to 21 or 23g. But I have used 18g to inject suspension before.

I’m not sitting there for two minutes straight and taking the time to heat it up. Not really worried about the level of pain that equals a mosquito bite.

Theres two great sources on here for pins. Great prices. Hit me up if needed. I get the ones that have a little nipple on the end of the plunger so your not losing all them gainzzzzzz.

Fr sent. I'd like to compare prices with the source I've been using since they raised their prices recently

fusebox's picture

There are sources that have pins on here just like gear fyi. Just got 100 3cc with 21 ga to draw and 100 25 ga 5/8 and 100 25 ga 1 inch for like 70 bucks. And prep pads

I was pissed when they switched me over too. It’s not that big a deal at the end of the day but definitely inconvenient vs the old ten ml vials.

Now a “cycle” of pharma test looks like a suitcase full if you’re shooting 5 ml a week and you leave them in the boxes lol.

Exactly, I hid gear from my girl until we moved in together, that would have been impossible now. Luckily she is super supportive.

Same here, but was told all different reasons. Was told it was because the insurance company first, then was told something with that's what they carry.

My biggest question was, "Is the gear good after 28 days?"

I go to a national chain pharmacy. My Dr RX was for a 10 ml vial. They used to fill it like that, but the pharmacist would have to enter it as a 1 month supply or they insurance wouldn’t cover it. So depending on which pharmacist I would get they would do that for me or they wouldn’t. One said it was insurance fraud, but I pay 20% and it was cheaper for me to do it that way so it had to be cheaper for the insurance co. Lately they said they were going to go to only 1 ml vials. Phasing out the 10s. 10 ml used to be 250% cheaper, but price of 1 ml has come way down. I noticed I can get 1.1 ml out of a 1 ml probably to make up for what gets left in the syringe. So if you get the type of syringe that lets you push it all out of the majority of the needle. You might get more that way. Unless they did that with the 10 ml as well

Holy crap needles was a whole other nightmare. They gave me 5/8" 25ga tuberculosis needles to pin with, and an 18ga 1 1/2" needle to draw with.

My pharmacy switched to 1ml vial some time ago, price worked out to be the same per ml as going 10ml vials, using goodrx app. I get 15 - 1ml vials at a time (90 day supply).

My script was for 1 10ml vial, but I am going to call Monday and have the doc call and change it, because they would not even give me 10 singles. They want me to come to the pharmacy every seven days and get 1 weeks worth.

Where've you been?

Working on my mental and emotional strength brother. I reached my goal ( 220lbs @15%Bf) and hated what I saw. I got real depressed dwelling on the years of work that at that moment seemed to be for naught. That lasted about 2 weeks and I finally went to a head shrinker, I am going to write a post telling the whole story later today. But for the record, I missed you too ;)

For years, I was getting 5ml and 10ml no problems. I was really sick last year. They paid out $500K. Now, it’s 1ml vials, bastards.

Bastards is write. They only care about the bottom line.

It’s a way for the insurance company to fuck you once a month.
Walmart carries the 10 ml.
Honestly the generic Perrigo is as good as the Watson.

I pay out of pocket as well. Thats why I had the issue with vial size in the first place. 10ml vial is $46.00
1ml vial is $12.00. That adds up over the course of a year.

My doc wanted to do it that way, have me come in once per week and pay $25 every time, I threatened to go somewhere else and they decided I was responsible enough to do it at home, lol.

What kills me is it says "single dose vial" and the doc still had me using it 4 times to start out. Smdh
