I dunno I just got some luer lock syringes and some fattie 18g needles to draw with. I can't imagine trying to push or pull estradiol through the 32g I use for insulin.

My pharmacy tried to give me fucking luer slip. Took me all of 3 weeks to have the needle slip off the syringe mid-injection.

Yeah, my pharmacy includes whatever random needles they have laying around, got the slip the first time, immediately bought a 4 year supply of locks. I need to find out if I can donate the unused ones to a needle exchange or if I should just accidentally drop them around the back.

I'd be a bit surprised if they refuse donations of unused sealed needles and syringes but post an update of how that goes. Ive got my own that im unlikely to use

I bought a 2-year supply of luer locks with lower dead space and needles after that happened, luer slips are terrible for untrained users

I think for viscous meds even the pros would avoid the slips. youtube.com/shorts/TsG4g...

And yet my pharmacy was too lazy to get luer lock even though I double-checked the prescription my provider wrote and it did say LL

It is possible they are just idiots but probably they know what you are doing and are communicating that they disapprove.

Nah, definitely lazy (or just understaffed, tbh), it's Walgreens. And they had just closed the one i used to go to due to low traffic so this one got most of the proper one's patients

Oh yeah Walgreens is probably just an employee who wasn't trained. You can probably get the pharmacist involved to give you LLs and train their tech. But it'll probably happen again next time. They don't pay those folks enough.

I'll just order in bulk online tbh. Cheaper and no worries about running out

And you get to do gender affirming conflict avoidance! (I literally did the same, I am not making fun of you.)
