    I asked the pharmacist. While it's OTC, my pharmacist had to order it for me. :shrug:

    You could probably also get it online, if you shop online.

      Thanks for the response. I do shop online but I don't want to wait! I'm impatient...

      I'll run over to WalMart or something on my lunch break. Is there a certain brand or something I am supposed to buy? And is Ketosis sticks that actualy name or is that just something I made up?

        I get mine at Walgreens. They have some that are cheap and some that are more expensive. I buy the cheap ones. Diastix is the brand I've used in the past.

          save your money and do not buy them. If you arer eating your Atkins by the book then you will be in ketosis. those stix have more false readings then any test I've ever seen because they read the concentration of only one type of ketone and if you happen to be burning that one as fuel then you don't register and if you drinks lots of water you will not be as concentrated either. you can use the physical symptoms like the change in the smell of your breath and urine, increase in thirst, new taste in mouth, increased energy along with weight and inches lost to know you are in ketosis.

            Thanks for the advice...I almost prefer to look for physical signs instead of spending money, what can I say? I'm cheap.

                I think, but I'm not sure, that the box says Ketostix. However, ketosticks should be all the same...the pharmacist will know what you're talking about if you mention it
