Reconstituting with insulin needle

[Need_to_shrink]

Hey everybody, sorry if this is an absolutely stupid question. I just purchased everything I need to test out tirzepatide . However, I forgot to order needles for reconstituting. Is it OK to reconstitute with insulin needles? Or is that not a good idea for some reason?

Sure just use it ! It's just a syringe with a needle ;-)
(but be careful about the amounts since it's not in ml, but in units)

Sure, you can use your insulin syringe

I’d argue it’s even better due to higher accuracy and less disruption of the vial stopper. (Not that we know the actual mg in the vial to any accuracy, but this is better technique!)

Use two. Pull the plunger out of one to vent the vial.

Ooh, I bet you can leave the plunger in the second one, it will push itself out, that way nothing chances falling into the second one.

Great idea thank you!

Thank you! And good point about the milliliters versus units.
