For GLP-1
Everything you need to inject a GLP-1 at home.
Your prescriber has started you on a weekly injection and handed you a script. What nobody tells you is what else you need to actually do it.
This is the list. Three things, about the price of a coffee a week, and you can order them without an account.
What we supply
Syringes or pen needles, alcohol swabs and a sharps container.
What comes from your pharmacy
The medicine itself. That comes from your pharmacy on a script, and we have nothing to do with it.
The kit
How often do you inject?
Set it below and the order follows. Each line shows how long a pack lasts at that rate, so you can see what is a monthly buy and what is a once a year one.
How often do you inject?
{{ note }}
Quantities are a starting point, not a prescription. Your prescriber sets your dose, your route and your schedule. Where those differ from anything here, follow them.
Why these, and not the others
01
A pen takes a pen needle
If your medicine comes in a pre-filled injector, you need pen needles, not syringes. 32G 4mm is the shortest and finest on the Australian market, and it is the one most people get on with.
02
A vial takes a syringe
If yours is a vial, you draw it up yourself with an insulin syringe. 30G 8mm is the usual choice. The Gauge Finder will confirm it in three questions.
03
Two swabs, not one
One for the top of the vial or pen, one for your skin. Buying the 200 box rather than the 100 works out cheaper per swab and you will not run out mid-month.
04
The sharps container is not optional
Used needles cannot go in household waste anywhere in Australia. Our guide to sharps disposal covers what each state does with a full container.
FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
If yours is not here, the contact form routes straight to the team that can answer it.
Do I need a prescription to buy these?
No. Syringes, needles, swabs and sharps containers are consumables and you can buy them here without an account or a script. The medicine you are injecting is a different matter and comes from your pharmacy.
Is 4mm really long enough?
For a pen injection into the fat layer, yes. Australian and international diabetes guidance has moved to the shortest needle available for exactly this reason: a short needle is very unlikely to reach muscle, whatever your body size.
What if I miss a week?
That is a question for your prescriber, not for us. We can only tell you what to inject with.
Will the box say what is inside?
No. Everything ships in a plain unmarked box. Nothing on the outside indicates what it contains or who sent it.

The Gauge Finder asks what you are injecting, where, and how often. Nothing you answer is stored, and we never ask what it is for.
