comment on sterile water is not bacteriostatic water and it is not close in c/reconstitution · 0 points · 5 days ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is units. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on cored the stopper on day 9. rotate your puncture site in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 6 days ago
This is correct. 3mL versus 9mL is the common mistake.
comment on [Explainer] units are volume, mg are mass, this is the #1 error on this site in c/reconstitution · 23 points · 11 days ago
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
comment on [PSA] let the alcohol swab dry before you puncture, that is the step everyone skips in c/reconstitution · 38 points · 16 days ago
The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
comment on reconstituted at 1mL instead of 2mL and caught it before injecting. lucky. in c/reconstitution · 38 points · 16 days ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on [Discussion] mg/mL is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 13 points · 1 months ago
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
comment on [Meta] we crossed 800k members and nothing about the rules changes in c/meta · 6 points · 1 months ago
the ranking formula is meta
comment on [Discussion] mg/mL is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 12 points · 1 months ago
dead space is real and the syringe matters
comment on the reconstitution question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/reconstitution · 11 points · 1 months ago
show your working or it is unhelpful
comment on [Below Spec] 94.1% with a 1.8% single impurity. is that the des-amido in c/labresults · -23 points · 1 months ago
the vial you ordered versus the vial you received might be different batches
comment on week 71 check-in — 6kg down, constipation manageable, one thing confusing me in c/reconstitution · 120 points · 1 months ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
comment on insulin syringe is the most under-discussed thing in c/sideeffects in c/reconstitution · 9 points · 2 months ago
bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way
comment on unpopular opinion: reconstitution is massively overrated in c/reconstitution · 27 points · 2 months ago
This is correct. 2mL versus 4mL is the common mistake.
comment on Medutest — 2 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/labresults · 19 points · 3 months ago
template required: vendor / product / batch / service / method / result
comment on the meta question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/meta · 15 points · 3 months ago
Second this question. I have wondered about meta for 10 months and never seen a straight answer.
comment on switched from 12.5mg to 10mg and the constipation got better, not worse in c/labresults · -8 points · 5 months ago
Not to be pedantic but below spec and Janoshik are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about bacteriostatic water until somebody posts a number in c/reconstitution · 76 points · 7 months ago
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
comment on is it normal to get constipation at week 95 in c/reconstitution · 31 points · 8 months ago
Two vials, two different concentrations, forgot which was which, almost made a 23 times error.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 5 weeks to accept.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify reconstitution in c/reconstitution · 48 points · 9 months ago
comment on mg/mL: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/reconstitution · 63 points · 10 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
