Highlights from this day
- split_the_cost — weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill, happy to be corrected 09:31
- two_eight_c — benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick 09:38
- split_the_cost — 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right 09:43
- bac_water_bill — if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7 10:00
bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 9 weeks
check your maths
what do you do with the last 12 units when you cant draw them cleanly

aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
ok so the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
is there any reason not to just always use 2ml
foam is bad

my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like
20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy, n of 1 obviously
if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7

bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
