the Netherlands: mg/mL, and what it actually costs here
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 5mg to 1.7mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 2 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have reflux I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 95 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
u-100 syringe, not u-40, or your math is off by factor of 8
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?

stopper coring on the 16th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

dead space is real and the syringe matters

the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step

Adding to this: reconstitution is doing more work than the comment implies.
Cored the stopper on my 2th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

Is that 10mg vial or 21mg?

This is correct. 1mL versus 23mL is the common mistake.
Slight fix: the number was 98.4, not 98.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
Spent 13 weeks confused about concentration math until someone showed me the table. 10mg, 1mL, concentration is 10/1.
swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation
