Help? Where can I buy spare needles quickly?

Just about to start a new pen and realised that it hasn't been sent with needles. Med express are sending some but they won't come for a few days. Is there something I can buy in a normal chemist or does anyone know where I could get some with next day delivery as I really need to start the pen ASAP?

If you search for insulin pen needles 32g 4mm you will find loads of online suppliers, and I suppose some of them might do next day delivery.

You could ask in a local pharmacy, they supply them to diabetics all the time eg for the insulin kwikpen.

Faster than online if you have one close that says yes.

Where are you OP?

Just go to your local chemist, I’m sure they will sell you some appropriate needles particularly if they stock MJ as they will know exactly what you need

I get my MJ from the local pharmacy and they just give me a handful as I need them, never counted so they certainly don’t keep stock records and have a certain number of needles to allocate

Yes, our helpful local pharmacist just gave me a few when I somehow managed to mislay the ones that came with my Ozempic pen. They eventually turned up in the bottom of a suitcase having fallen out of the box.
