Syringes

I see that some people give tiny amounts, .o1 .25, etc.
My pharmacy did not have syringes with even half unit markings. I am using BD Ultra-Fine 3/10cc.
I have to give Checkers, 1.5u sometimes, so have to do it by eye.
I'd appreciate advice on syringe brand, where to buy, etc
Thank you

 

hi Barb

BD does carry 1/2 unit marking syringes.

I'm not sure in your area where to buy, but I would shop around.
You can also get them online too.

Some of our members here have links about the syringes, and I'm hoping they will see this thread and give you the links and info on where to get them.

 

I got relion brand at Walmart - I made sure the vet put 1/2 unit markings on the script and double checked with pharmacy.

If you have one nearby, you can call and ask if they have them in stock and if not, when they will get them in.

 

I buy mine from www.hocks.com

Monoject brand is less expensive than BD

Thank you for responses. Now if only Google would send me a new password, I could get into my account and make a spreadsheet. *sigh*

If you're in the US, you can buy half unit marked insulin syringes online from Hocks.com and other places. The product description will say half unit markings or 1/2 unit markings..
