[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 273849, member: 43589"] Yes, I have been using this CVS for almost 20 years and they asked me for my ID. Too much. Stupid is right......all of the sudden the FDA thinks we need to toss any vial open more than 30 days? Toss it in the garbage? It doesn't go bad and has <2% benzyl alcohol in it as a bacteriostatic preservative. Well, I know where I will order from here on out. I'll just tell my doctor to keep the script on file. When they are selling 10, 1ml vials for $50, I'm not too sure how much insurance is really paying for. Looks like the United States Pharmacopeia may have instigated this nonsense: 5. When should multi-dose vials be discarded? Medication vials should always be discarded whenever sterility is compromised or cannot be confirmed. In addition, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) General Chapter 797 [[URL='https://www.cdc.gov/injectionsafety/providers/references.html#ref16']16[/URL]] recommends the following for multi-dose vials of sterile pharmaceuticals: [LIST] [*]If a multi-dose has been opened or accessed (e.g., needle-punctured) the vial should be dated and discarded within 28 days unless the manufacturer specifies a different (shorter or longer) date for that opened vial. [/LIST] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cdc.gov/injectionsafety/providers/provider_faqs_multivials.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
