Topic: Mixing IV Meds the cheapest way?

I have read through the archives trying to get the lowdown on the cheapest most efficient way to do IV antibiotics.

I like the eclipse balls, but not at $70 extra a week. Does anyone get all the IV supplies from Costco? They are convenient for me but are they the cheapest if you mix your meds?

Is anyone using Costco for all their supplies, tubing, bandages, heparin, antibiotics, syringes and needles? Is this cheaper than using Infuserve? Does any other place besides Infuserve sell the eclipse balls at a cheaper price?

Just trying to save some time because I know many of you have already done all the searching for the cheapest way to do IV antibiotics.

I'm not aware that you can get IV supplies or meds from Costco. I know you can get some meds from Walgreens.

I know that some of the Costco's will order the meds, but I have to find out if they can order the other supplies.

Be sure when you call any pharmacy that you ask not only the cost of the meds, but ALL supplies, including dressing change kits, saline flushes, heparin etc.
