apnoea_down_twodead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month#reconstitution · 2025-08-14deamidationupdate on the earlier thing 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right#reconstitution · 2025-08-14swirl_not_shake40 units of a 5 solution is a lot of volume and i check that one twice every single time#tirzepatide · 2025-08-15chlorhex10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100#reconstitution · 2025-08-15chlorhex30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the
