30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like
coming back after 22 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
weigh it first
pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick
it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should

does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go
a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
update from 5 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since
one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
thats fine
the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back
if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7
weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill, happy to be corrected
thats the vacuum
