Are syringes and needles restricted to sale only in pharmacies in Guam?

In Guam, syringes and needles are not exclusively sold in pharmacies, allowing their distribution in other retail outlets as well. This broader accessibility is often intended to promote safe injection practices, especially for individuals managing health conditions such as diabetes who may require insulin injections, or for other medical needs that necessitate the use of syringes and needles.

While pharmacies play a critical role in providing these items, the regulation allows for convenience and availability in various settings, which can be essential for public health. This access can also reduce the risks associated with unregulated use, as these products are necessary for proper medical and personal care.

The other choices reflect more restrictive interpretations that do not align with the regulatory context in Guam. They suggest limits that do not exist or misinterpret the local legal framework around the sale of these medical supplies.
