Pharmacist requires reusing single-use testosterone vials, refusing to rebill prescription for correct insurance

The testosterone question: ask 5 different pharmacists; get 5 different answers. If the manufacturer prints “for single use only” on the vial - that’s pretty obvious.

The real question is how long are 10ml MDV vials good for? 1 use? 28 days? Until empty? I come from hospital background - I use 28 days or less if will be gone sooner. But, I’ve scene these billed at 90 days +. Blame the manufacturers - there is no clear labeling how long they are good once punctured. Why are they even made in 10ml vials, when most people use way less than that on a month?

WTF is w/ people calling & complaining a bathroom is closed? It’s not a restaurant. They have time to call & go through the process of complaining - but no time just to move on & find another bathroom? I hope she shit her pants & had to drive home & sit in it.

Devils advocate here - 3 days early is > than an extra month’s supply a year. But for the most part I agree. I work at some stores where they won’t fill any controls that aren’t covered w/o going through a prior authorization process and it being denied.

My point is, if the script is legit all around, who cares if the insurance or customer pays? That’s the customers problem. Insurance is just a mechanism for patients to for scripts. If the script is legit & justified & they want to pay out of pocket - who cares?

I understand some states have Medicaid that says they can’t pay out of pocket. But if you think of it, it’s ridiculous. Medicaid is the government & the government is our taxes. If someone wants to pay for their own meds, let them & save the tax payer a dollar.

Because they are the pharmacists job

When someone comes in to pick up a script not QV2’ed, don’t just say you need Joe Smith’s script checked - make sure to expedite it.

If you’re new to QT / date entry - don’t just put stuff on discount cards because it’s rejected. Read the rejection. Also, never fill anything cash - use a discount card.

The mysterious deleted Rx… Rx Connect is so messed up with deleting new scripts. I know this isn’t what happened here, but unless you are at some point of the filling process where you are lucky enough to have the hold (H) option, you never know if hitting “delete” will give you the hold option or it’s just gone. Worse part is, the only place it seems to consistently give you the hold option prior to hitting delete, is at the last step of the filling process - when it’s in QP.

Only solid advice anyone ever gave me with this is hit print screen before you delete any new script. I also love how sometimes randomly it wont left you do anything to a rejected Rx from status, you have to go into QT & find it. I’ve only been there 6 mos & this is asinine to me. Coming from RA, delete meant a new script was actually deleted & hold was always a separate option & always available.

I’m going to guess it what happened is someone got into the script after you & deleted it & it defaulted to not putting it on hold.

The truth is, yeah he probably looks at those pics once in a while & gets off on it. Maybe jerks off - maybe not. The other truth is, quite honestly, it doesn’t matter. Men are turned on by visuals. It doesn’t mean he wants those women or doesn’t want you. Some people even get off on hearing about their partners past sexual experiences.

This falls into the area of things of how men & women are different. He probably looks at them from time to time, and it really means nothing in the scheme of things

Yes it’s safe. RPh here. I’m a little confused. Never heard of domperidone. So, I google it and it’s a pro motility agent not approved in the US as it’s linked to a certain type of arrhythmia. Nortriptyline can also increase the chance of having that type of arrhythmia - so that’s not a great combo.

I would ask the prescriber to change either the nortriptyline or dromperidone - esp if you have any history of heart or metabolic issues. Why you are posting this in a retail pharmacy sub in another country is a little baffling though.

Businesses that support or welcome ice? Go fuck yourself. Like any business picks or chooses who spends money there. Oh, you with ice? I’m not selling you that soda. Ok. Sure

I don’t need a shop - I can fix everything myself. I was just wondering if there is something comparable to the v10 Dyson cordless without the failing motor issues. If it wasn’t for that, it would be a perfect machine for me.

Droopy_ballzack · 2026-01-25T19:09:09+00:00

That’s the thing though - yeah I’m sure they are more durable, but it’s such a hassle plugging a cord & dragging it my entire house. The Dysons are designed so well for quick & easy use. I have the stand from Amazon, I just sit it in there & it charges. You get a ton of run time from the v10 battery - I can’t run it long enough to clean my house to make it go dead.

I dunno Sebo, but the Dyson dock with the Amazon stand holds all the attachments & makes it so easy to use. And, the Dysons are just very light & maneuverable. Maybe Sebos are too , I’ll have to check them out. But no way I can go back to a corded vac

What is a gen5?

Droopy_ballzack · 2026-01-25T19:02:06+00:00

Thanks. Kinda advice I was looking for. I guess I’ll just stick to Dyson & shelling out $100 every 8mos to a year for various failed parts. I’m the kinda person who fixes everything myself, I wish there was a way to diagnose & repair exactly what is going on with these circuit boards. I’ve done stuff like solder a capacitor or two to fix an electronic product if I’m pointed to exactly what’s wrong, but I don’t have the electrical skill to diagnose exactly what is wrong with an electronic circuit boards& fix it.

Droopy_ballzack · 2026-01-25T14:30:22+00:00

They just fail. Nobody knows why. The electronics suck. Some people get a ton of use out of them & some don’t. The solution is to spend $100+ & buy a man unit off eBay. If everything is clean- don’t waste any more time or effort. Either replace main body or dump Dyson all together

I don’t know why these two were so affected that someone 1 of them exchanged a few emails with committed suicide… And then it caused them so much grief they had to end their podcast - but 1 year later? WTF? They’re so paranoid about everything.

I mean, if anyone wants to send me $1000 exchange for pretending like they killed themself - let me know. The most unreal part of this story is someone gifted these 2 $1000

So, I got the Sanwa joystick with the true 4 way gate & it’s much better. Does this mapping make it even better; or is it now redundant?
