5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose

- birch_bloods — a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not, ask me again in a month 16:59
- pia_plateaus — i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume, ask me again in a month 18:12
- pia_plateaus — i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists 18:25

bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
unrelated but do you draw up with the same pin you inject with
is there any reason not to just always use 2ml
my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am
[edited]whats the smallest volume you would trust yourself to measure on a u100
weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill
i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume, ask me again in a month
bac water
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
thats the vacuum
if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7
thats 5mg/ml
