Meds in Massachusetts

[gigi]

I just talked to my doc today about doing instills at home. I have complete retention and have to cath 100% of the time, so feel that I could do these at home to. He told me that he has tried to have people do it at home in the past but has never been able to find a pharmacy that will supply the meds for home use.

Anybody from MA out there who is doing instills at home?

I am not sure what ingredients you are using. I can get heparin, lidocaine and sodium bicarbonate from several local chain pharmacies. They don't keep it in stock but they will order it for me. My meds can be delivered by mail from a mail prescription pharmacy, Caremark.
