Where to purchase 7% saline without prescription?
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.

Regarding Resp-Ease 7% saline from Amazon. Here is (edited) response from Paul Hastings, CEO, Venture Healthcare:
"Oh, good morning, it's Paul from Venture Healthcare. regarding the sterility of our SP 7%. just wanted to say that, all our salines are sterile. We've been selling them, to the NHS, the National Health Service in the UK for over 10 years, and we've just recently been selling them in the United States. one of the issues we're facing is we're just dealing with the, Regulatory/ compliance regarding what you can and can't say on packaging, which is why you might see some boxes that are different to others, so we're slowly working through that with professional advice to make sure that our packaging is correct, but rest assured that our products have been selling, as I said in the NHS for over 10 years and used in hospitals in respiratory wards for all sorts of respiratory issues like COPD and cystic fibrosis, so I hope that helps.”

I have a box about 1.5 years old where it was marked sterile from Base.
Regrettably when I ordered again it did not say sterile
@muon Boxes of adhesive bandages (like BandAids) used to labeled sterile, but no longer. That doesn't mean they aren't manufactured under sterile conditions. It means they do not have control once they are distributed so regulators required them to remove the word from the label. I strongly suspect the same is true here. I will ask my pharmacist if they know why the change. I get exactly the same product with Rx as from Amazon.
