Highlights from this day
- brisbane_bac — if the powder is on the stopper, tap it down before you add anything. it will still dissolve either way 22:07
- clothes_size_cass — give it 3 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved 22:54
- quiet.hours — you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should 10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100 23:07

right so the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air, someone check my working
the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly
bac water
thats 5mg/ml
clear or bin it
round numbers
bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop
write the date on
10mg vial
+ 1.0ml -> 10.0 mg/ml 0.5mg = 5u 1mg = 10u
+ 2.0ml -> 5.0 mg/ml 0.5mg = 10u 1mg = 20u
+ 2.5ml -> 4.0 mg/ml 0.5mg = 12.5u (dont)
+ 5.0ml -> 2.0 mg/ml 0.5mg = 25u 1mg = 50uupdate on the earlier thing i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
give it 3 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved

5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically, from memory
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100

dead space
thats fine
*that should say weekly
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
