is there any reason not to just always use 2ml
#reconstitution 2025-09-26
- reta_low_dose — 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right 14:42
- underfill_uma — if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space, we shall see 15:24
- underfill_uma — follow up swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back 17:57
took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick
if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space, we shall see
round numbers
weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill, from memory
the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly
anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 1mg on a round unit mark
update on the earlier thing you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it
how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved
follow up swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back
