Where to purchase 7% saline without prescription?

Posted by lindenflower @lindenflower, Sep 25 10:55am

Hi friends,
I’m having hard time getting 7% saline- my insurance doesn’t cover it.
If I purchase it with cash from my pharmacy, I was told, I risk to lose my insurance.
Do you know of places that sell legitimate 7% saline without prescription?
I’m tired of making it, it takes a lot of time every day.

@debusa my insurance covers 0. I use the goodrx discount.

Oh now I think I get it. You use goodrx for three month supply for approx $48 cost if I recall, but even at one month goodrx cost is $22. I’m going to try that next time. Thank you for clarifying and saving me a pretty penny 🙂

@debusa Those are pretty good prices. Mine is $15 for 60 vials with insurance, so $45 for 3 months if used twice a day. Luckily I now only use 2-3 times per week, unless I feel something coming on. Then my emergency plan calls for jumping right to 2x daily.

@jgb1997 Do you use it for bronchiectasis as a nabulizer?
I just got it , but there is nota a word “ sterile” anywhere on the box.

Regarding “Res-Ease 7% Saline” from Amazon. I just emailed the company (9/29) for clarification. My box does say “Sterile” (picture attached) but I see no mention of sterile in the product description on Amazon (?)
I will post when the company responds.

Naveh is no longer available in the US. I always bought theirs and wish they were still available. I find the BaseLabs to have a subtle smell/taste that must be due to the plastic they use? But no issue with them otherwise when I have used. I do have an extremely good sense of smell so I doubt most people would even notice it.

Do you get sterile 7%. When I ordered last time, it did not say "sterile".

@lindenflower Same here, there is no sterile anywhere on the box, so I no longer order from them. I use Lifestar which clearly states "Sterile"

@jgb1997 Thank you. Look forward to see what they say.
My box doesn’t say that even though the picture in Amazon did.

I get mine through the pharmacy with Drs prescription so they must be sterile. But on occasion i have ordered through Amazon. If I do so again I will check about it saying sterile or not.
