Syringe gauge and size

[Buddybud81]

We are switching insulin from Prozinc to Lantus and I was wondering what size syringe and what gauge needle to use. I know Lantus requires U-100 syringe but there are different ones and the pharmacy needs more specifics. Can anyone help?

I used 3/10 cc 3/8;inch 31 gauge

U-100 with half unit markings. 3/10 mL, 8 mm, 31 gauge is very tiny so they really don't notice the injections. These are great!

You can also get these I don't think a pharmacy will have them with half unit markings, at least none of mine carried therm
Call ADW and they will contact your vet and the vet can fax a script over , ask your vet for refills , give your vets office a heads up

I wonder if it depends what state you live in? I never needed a vet Rx for them either (Georgia.)

I guess it depends on where you live In N.J I needed my vet to fax one over

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

I guess it does matter...oh well either way they have great prices
