If you use Humulin N for diabetics please please check  inside the box before leaving the store.  I had just a little left in one vial so opened a new one - what the heck.  They were 2 different sizes, one was 10ml and the other 3.  Hummm???  Looked at the  boxes and both said 10 but one had a 3 in in.  I know Walgreen's didn't do it as the box was factory sealed as always.  Bella uses a vial a week at $137 and want her 10 not a 3ml  Called Eli Lilly this morning to let them know and was told the best they could do was send me paperwork to fill out for a refund.  I asked if they were going to check inventory control as they are the problem, her reply - heck if I know.  Sent pics and they asked that I hold onto the box and vial for 14 days and they may send some one to pick it up. How many other people have been scammed without realizing it?? 4951

That's odd, both dd and I take specialty medicine.  We have 72hours after delivery to report anything wrong with the product and they replace it for free.  I think I would be calling Walgreens to see if they can help you out.  I would also call the other place back and speak to someone else.  Good luck. 4951

That's what I use, so thanks for the warning.  We get a 90 day supply through the mail, so we might not notice right away. 4951

You're welcome for the warning and really thought maybe I shouldn't push the issue until some one in FL had the same problem with Humulin N last week.  Cindy is going to call them also to let them know.  Wish Bella wasn't a rottie so I could use mail order instead of Walgreen's to pick up but to us she's our girl.They called back a few minutes ago and gave me a request # to give to our pharmacist and ask her to call them and go from there.  Will do it this week and if by next Fri nothing is decided Cindy and I will both file a complaint with the FDA.   Surely there are others in this exact situation. 4951

So now you'll have to open the box before purchase. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: I don't take that, but I do get syringes in the mail-can you look at the when you get it without ruining the integrity?  I have been told, as long as I call within 72 hours, they will replace no questions asked.

You bet I will.  It's said that you pay so much for prescriptions and the manufacturer claims they didn't think it happened.  Why would I at 70 yrs old try to cheat any one, never have in my life time 4951

@RogueHippEE:  Yes, we get a bunch of 10mL bottles.  Each boxed.  We will be able to tell by the weight or by shaking the box to see if we got a smaller bottle instead of the 10mL.  Now, if they don't fill the bottle, we won't know until we open the box.  So far, we've never had an issue.  We use CVS Caremark for the mail-in 90 day supplies but we don't like CVS for anything else.  We use Walgreens for those.We just buy the syringes from Walgreens because sometimes CVS Caremark sends the real short needles and I prefer the longer needles (got to get through the fat layer!)

I have had issues with multiple pharm around kingwood. Now I open and check meds at the counter (who's got time to come back AND they make you sign the "any questions box" b/4 you receive your meds... Just do it and if wrong, all the Pharm folks have been super helpful ( we're all human and make mistakes..). if not, mention an incident report and boy will they fix things  quick!Insulin is a super sensitive drug... you are you're own advocate ! 4951

I've never checked the box as it comes sealed from the  manufacturer and didn't see any reason to but will from now on. 4951
