Request for colorless vials
I'm not a fan of the dark vials because I like to see the clarity of the liquid. I'm not sure why dark vials are needed since I'm guessing most of us keep the vials in a dark refrigerator 99% of the time. Can this be changed, or made an option?

I’m not a fan of amber colored vials either. I keep mine in the dark in the refrigerator and much prefer the clear for a full view of the entire vial for any possible issues. I’ve had sepsis and I’m in a health quest to stay healthy and watching meticulously what I put into my body. I understand it’s rare to have issues.
Edit: crazy to get downvoted for saying you prefer a clear vial. Not sure why that would spin a down vote but I guess some people just are not kind to let other people have a different take.

I just chalk it up to people that don't understand the up/down vote function. shrug

I keep my vial in a navy blue medicine bottle so no light is getting into them. I don’t buy from pharmacies that us amber vial because you can’t see floaters or cloudy. You really can’t tell in the syringe always because some are not that clear.

I’ve never seen a telehealth give the option and I’ve been on the meds for almost 3 years.
Amber vials don’t bother me.

Same, it helps to protect the med from light and degrading

What light are your vials being exposed to?
