[Discussion] the mg/mL advice in here is 3 years out of date

Discussionbranch of 6 comments

the mg/mL advice in here is 3 years out of date. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. The relevant figures are 3 years, and they come from the same log I have kept the whole time. Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which is what makes repeated entry into…

piotr_bruun has the units point exactly right. They are a volume on the barrel and nothing else.

About c/reconstitution

The arithmetic and the technique. Bacteriostatic versus sterile water, reconstitution volume as a concentration choice, converting mg/mL into insulin-syringe units, dead space, swirl-not-shake, stopper coring, and how long a reconstituted vial is actually good for. Math errors get corrected fast and politely.

c/reconstitution rules
  1. Show your numbers. "How many units?" with no mg and no mL cannot be answered.
  2. Never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration it assumes.
  3. No sterile-compounding-for-others discussion. Personal handling only.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
