What is the maximum quantity of needles a person can purchase without requiring a prescription?

In Connecticut, the maximum quantity of needles a person can purchase without a prescription is indeed 10. This regulation is in place to ensure that while individuals have access to necessary medical supplies, there is still a level of oversight to prevent misuse. Allowing the purchase of up to 10 needles strikes a balance between providing patients or individuals who may need them for legitimate reasons—such as those managing diabetes or other medical conditions—and reducing the risk of potential abuse or illegal drug use scenarios.

Limitations are usually established to promote responsible usage while also acknowledging that need for such items can vary significantly from person to person. In this context, purchasing any quantity over 10 would typically require a prescription, indicating a need to ensure that there is a healthcare provider involved in the decision-making process. This helps to maintain public safety and promote proper use of medical supplies.
