pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick

- baseline_drift — while im here my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am 11:32
- panel_before_after — does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder 12:33
- blind_submit — my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something 12:40
- panel_before_after — update from 7 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since 15:33
- combo_cai — quick one how do you all measure a half unit, or do you just not 15:44
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
coming back after 16 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed
while im here my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am
write the date on
give it 2 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved
does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go
lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile
can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted
does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder
check your maths
my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 7 weeks
my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
one unit is 0.01ml
if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space

nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing, we shall see
round numbers

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 = 50ubac water
the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol, take that with a pinch of salt
nope, redo it
thats the vacuum
if i add 5ml to a 30mg vial what concentration am i actually at
it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop
