Purchasing CPAP without prescription: Advice?

Post by SonopaalFounik » Mon Mar 04, 2024 4:35 am

Greetings! Battling sleep apnea for the better part of my life, I've decided to invest in a CPAP machine. However, I lack a prescription and uncertainty looms regarding where to make this purchase. Could anyone point me towards online platforms or websites that offer CPAP machines sans prescriptions? I'd be immensely grateful for any guidance or suggestions. Thank you kindly for your assistance!

Prescriptions are required for a reason.

You are wanting to do the very same thing that you blast as unacceptable and dangerous.

As far as I know there are no online vendors who will do what you are wanting to do.

Get yourself a sleep study done.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Makes me think he wants to find these suppliers and "report" them to their state licensing board. :roll:
