I’m currently in Vietnam and Cerebrolysin is sold OTC here. Finding it is easy, the only problem is that I can’t seem to find blunt filter needles anywhere.

I’ve been to multiple pharmacies (different chains and districts) as well as the main medical supply stores / wholesalers in HCMC.

Looks like they’re just not commonly used or available here. And yes, I’ve also tried sourcing online locally.

I understand using a filter is best practice but how big is the risk of glass contamination without one?

I would like to do a one month cycle (10ml day IM x 5 days x 4 weeks).

I will go to Thailand after but can’t seem to find filters online there either.
