So in the state I recently moved to, apparently amazon will not ship any kind of actual medical grade needles on the site due to some legal nonsense.
Many of you who have bought needles off of amazon are probably familiar with the large amount of sterile “lab grade” or “vet grade” needles on the website (some of you are probably already using them). My question is, as long as its sterile, does it actually matter?
I assume that the difference is just a certification? If not it’s very concerning reading the comments on amazon of so many people using them for testosterone.
Hypodermics are used in such large numbers and so trivial to manufacture that it would be impressive to set up another manufacturing line with inferior materials.
Sounds like they’re probably fine. Injecting is really just about cleanliness, given you’re bypassing the body’s major defence against pathogens. As long as you use sterile tools and technique it’s not overall very risky, it’s just that it’s dramatically more risky than other ways of taking medication.
