Big Pharma gaining ground on Grey?

[Adavis3053]

So, i have recently learned that Hospira BAC water can now only be bought with a prescription! Smart move by big pharma. Other brands of BAC water are also being gone after i have heard (someone on another forum said some grey vendors have admitted that BAC water regulations are tightening)

I am also concerned about the tariff situation. I saw someone post that their product from overseas was seized and they are not getting another order.

Is anyone concerned that Grey--even overseas---MAY be coming to an end?

Am i just paranoid?

thoughts? comments?

A lot of times they say that but don't enforce it. Try leaving the field for Rx or state license, whatever, blank and many times they will still ship to you.

I do not know what is going to happen, but at least right now Amsco will still apparently let you buy it. I just put some in my cart and went through most of checkout.

If Hospira BAC gets to the point it can't be sourced, other than by medical, I, like many others will make our own. Hopefully, that additional chore won't occur.

We might as well get nursing degrees at this point anyway. But I don't want to deal with the blood

I'd be okay with the blood, but not the blood relatives.

I think technically bac water has long required a prescription in the US, but the internets seem to think that varies by jurisdiction (like syringes).

I have an autoclave and I am not afraid to use it.

I need to get one of those! Right now, I have sterile sleeves/pouches and the instapot, but an autoclave would be superior.

We'll just source it overseas like all the rest of the shit we're putting in our bodies... Bac, that is.

The FDA is doing a great job of keeping fentanyl out of this country, right? There is always a way...

Just placed an order purchasing 6 bottles from Amsco about 2 minutes ago upon this advice. My parents are super impressed at my results over 2 years on gray, they started in April and I've been their plug. They need their own Bac water to store so I don't have to keep transporting mine to their house! Let's see what happens...

Well Medex just now let me check out with my panic-buy case of BAC water. I hope it has a far-off expiration date.

I already got the crocs and I'm sure my wife will let me borrow one of her Stanley cups.

A year and a half last time I ordered from them. I do wonder if that date means anything or it just their because they have to have a date.

They never learned from Prohibition. It's like we're a bunch of little speakeasies spread all over! Special password and doorknock and welcome to the party

Great analogy!

Hospira has always technically been like that. But many vendors say you need a prescription, license, etc.. yet ship it anyways when you blow off their request.

Speaking of nurses and bac water: do literally all hospitals use Hospira and absolutely no other brand? It seems like there must be competitors with reliable products.

I mean who in their right mind would let the UNTRAINED masses get their uninitiated hands on filtered water with a sploosh of alcohol without a prescription??

Hospira is all the hospitals I've worked at ever use for reconstituted injectables.
