These types of syringes require a prescription to obtain in most places. In Canada, however, both syringes and insulin are OTC.

There are many types of syringes to suit many different needs. The first consideration is the capacity of the syringe. Generally they come in three sizes: 1cc (equivalent to 100 units of insulin), ½ cc (50 units), and 3/10 cc (30 units). The needles are usually around 28 gauge. Some of the thinnest needles are 30 gauge. Some of them are coated to optimize comfort during injection. Most are made with surgical stainless steel. They are high quality and inspected carefully. Diabetics should never share needles. Serious diseases can be spread by needle sharing. Most syringes are designed to be disposable. So when the injection is complete, the needle should be disposed of properly.
Syringes come sterile. They are sterilized in irradiation process. This is usually the last step before they are individually packaged and sold. Syringes do not have an expiration date and will keep well if you store them in a dry cool area. When patients buy insulin syringes they should be reserved for the use of insulin only. They are specially made for insulin dosages and may not be appropriate for other uses. Syringes also come prefilled so there is no hassle of having to draw up the insulin. Many insurance companies will not pay for syringes along with the insulin; this is why Canada offers it without a prescription for a low price guarantee. Canadian pharmacies online also offer other discount drugs, over the counter and prescription meds, as well as many other health care products you may need at an affordable price.
