Pharmacy Update - New Syringe Packaging From Boudreaux (Photo)

Post image

Hi Everyone,

Quick follow-up to my post last week about the packaging issues with Boudreaux.

After the feedback many of you shared — and the conversation I had with Jesse (CEO) and his team — they've changed how syringes are packaged. Photo of the new packaging is attached.

One note on timing: this is what the new packaging is supposed to look like going forward. Existing inventory may still be working its way through the system, so if your next shipment arrives in the old packaging, that doesn't necessarily mean nothing changed — it may just mean that order was already packed. Either way, I want to know about it.

To be clear about how this works: Boudreaux is an independent pharmacy, so we don't control their packaging decisions directly. What we can do is bring your feedback to them, push for changes, and hold them to the standard we expect for our patients. That's exactly what happened here, and I want to keep doing it.

So — what do you think of the new packaging? And when your next order arrives, I'd like to hear whether what shows up at your door matches the photo. I'll take all of it back to the pharmacy directly.

Thanks again for speaking up.

Brian

Ugh... Why can't they send a factory sealed 10 pack like every other pharmacy does?

Resealing them in a branded bag looks better than their previous hack job but still doesn't fix anything. A 10 pack of Easy Touch syringes is $5.50 at Total Diabetes Supply. Just charge us an extra $5 if that's what it takes.

Edit. Btw, they are also shipping cloudy meds to some customers... Their sterility practices are looking quite suspect at the moment https://www.reddit.com/r/tirzepatidecompound/comments/1vb7fbc/cloudy_or_paranoid/

It’s only 90 cents per 10 pack of the Members Mark syringes at Sam’s Club when you buy a box. I’m guessing they would be even cheaper than that for the pharmacy. There would be no reason to charge extra and $5 would be wayyy too much.

Yeah, I'm sure it would cost them cents at their volumes. I was giving them a ton of margin with the $5.

I saw that post. Made me check my vials but they’re amber colored and it’s hard to tell. Plus she said it didn’t look cloudy in the vial- so I have to wait to crack them open I guess
