A prescription MAY BE REQUIRED based on your state of residence. Please see the important state-specific information below.

Please read carefully, by purchasing syringes or needles from our website (kdhealthcaresolutions.com), you are asserting that: 

  1. You are over 18 years of age and that, 
  2. You intend to use these syringes or needles for the treatment of diabetes or for another legitimate purpose. 

It is legal in most of the U.S. to purchase syringes and needles without a prescription. However, you are solely responsible for following the laws in your state. KD Health Solutions reserves the right to refuse any order in the event that filling such an order would violate any federal, state, or local law or regulation.

The information presented is not legal advice and categorizing laws in this way is subject to reviewer interpretation; it is not a comprehensive analysis of all the legal provisions that could implicate the legality of access to clean needles and syringes in a given jurisdiction. 

To view information for each state and the District of Columbia (DC), view the table below. This table provides an assessment of whether a state or DC law exists that allows the retail sale of syringes and needles to PWID.

One of three categories is indicated for each jurisdiction:

  1. Yes: State has a law authorizing the retail sale of syringes and needles without a prescription and no direct prohibition on sales to Possession with Intent to Distribute (PWID).
  2. Potentially: State does not have a law prohibiting the retail sales of syringes and needles without a prescription nor a law prohibiting sales specifically to PWID.
  3. No: State has a law prohibiting the retail sale of syringes and needles without a prescription or they have a law prohibiting sales specifically to PWID.
