HOSPIRA changes in availability

[swetmo]

Well, medex supply is requiring license info to complete the order. Interesting....

Medex Supply License link

Every single site I've found that is selling by the case is requiring license

That and you're generally using a much wider gauge needle which is far more susceptible to coring as well as defeating the "self-healing" design of the stopper with multiple punctures.

You don't access it with a needle though. You're screwing a luer lock syringe onto the stopper and drawing out without an attached needle

That's the point he's trying to make as to why a vial spike is useful in that particular situation, since you wont be using the needle to do multiple draws with the spike.

Got it! Took me several minutes and a re-read.

If it's a genuine shortage I have no issue with them going to licences only. It is actually an item needed for patient care. Other than the glp's, these peptides are mostly just a hobby, not a medical necessity... Paying $12 for a single vial kind of stinks but in the long run we're still making out like bandits over name.

Come on man, don't be logical about this crisis. 🙂

I get to be logical because I'm a hoarder and am not worried about running out. 😇

I totally agree. It's good not to run out of stuff😄

Why is no one carrying BAC Water? I was going to place an order from Nexaph and they told me they can't carry it due to legal reasons? I am new here so where is everyone getting it at? Also, if I order Tirzepatide (10 vials/Kit) - 10MG does that mean that I am getting 100 mg? I am trying to figure this all out. I have diabetes and my insurance all the suddenly decided they're not paying for Tirz anymore after being on it for over 3 years.

 

[Iamnew2this]

A kit of tirz(10 vials) at 10mg is 100mg total. Insurance sucks with GLPs. About the bac water, I'm not too sure, but it's happening. Hello and welcome! 👋

It is amazing how you can step back and be analytical once you are stocked- I am the exact same way.
I have to remind myself what it felt like when I did not know if I could maintain supply and progress in a manner I could afford. I think this is my primary reason for wanting to see others secure their supplies.

 

[indolent]

There are multiple threads already. Search "bac water" or "Hospira".

Please everyone don't further comment here...it fragments the discussions.

 

[ZippityDooDah]

Agreed. Threads merged.

Oh good. I was so confused at first when reading my own post on this thread!!! Thanks.

If you order a kit you get 10 vials of whatever you order. So Triz 10mg would give you a total of 100mg in your hand.

Yes, once I knew the medication worked for me I stocked up. Now I don't have to worry about running out for a very, very long time.

Just received an email back stating you must have the license of at least a nurse practitioner to order so I'm off to buy half a case from a regular seller at $13 a pop 😳

Hi, sorry about your insurance situation, I think many of us have had these same challenges.
If you do a google search for "Hospira bacteriostatic water" you'll get a lot of different sites that you can check and many sell individual bottles of the water.

If the reconstituting and having to source everything is overwhelming (understandably) you might think about using a telehealth company for a while. Everything will be already mixed and easy.
Good luck!

Brello Health is what I used. $499 for the first three months. Great company and the cheapest that I know of since they use their own compounding pharmacy of a different name. But ordering from Nexaph and supplies from Peptide Test could be faster regarding arrival time. You could figure things out while waiting the shipments, if need be.

I was able to get a total of 180 mg of compounded tirz for the $499 from Brello by fibbing about my current dose. At the time, my current dose was 2.5, but I told them it was 15. Some others will say their dose is 12.5 and ask to go to 15.

Ok. If you look at the big picture, you're still making out great compared to compound and name brand. You're doing great 👍

 

[peptideusername]

Maybe I don’t give two shits if it’s pharmacy grade as long as it’s sterile and works? But by all means if folks just want to stop reconstituting, give up on their meds and gain all their weight back and other ailments go ahead

Why be so unpleasant?

Hospira is pharmacy grade, so I was seeking answers on an alternative that is similar.
You have lots of words, but few ideas, and I couldn't help but notice you didn't name another "legitimate" bacteriostatic water source so I will have to presume that you do not have one.

I’m not here to explain myself to the likes of rando forum posters who I don’t give two flying f—ks about. How’s that?

Why are you even here? You are allowed to swear on the internet, by the way.

The crazy thing to me is the Hospira saline BAC is the same low price as before, so relatively few must be buying it, even now. It's not for all peptides but is arguably ideal (comfort-wise) for some applications like GLP-1s.

The cost for Hospira saline BAC is only $3.40 per 30mL bottle at AmscoMedical.com.

Do we have a list of which peps it is ok for?

No, according to some here, we are on a limb already about using saline BAC for GLPs.
