30mg Sema vials

[mountain_mist35]

Hi folks, I have 30mg vials coming my way. Now, I am thinking I will be throwing out a lot of Sema if I adhere to the 30-day rule (4 injections). On the max dose you would use 9.6mg of each vial which means I will be tossing out 20mg.
Did I make a mistake buying 30mg vials, and why would they even make 30mg vials? I plan to refrigerate and use sterile techniques. Could I pull 8 injections out of 1 vial?

I would use them... but that is just me. I would at least pull 3 months out of them. Ozempic is 56 days... you will be using bac water. I have no idea what Novo uses.

I have a 20mg vial that I have been using since mid October. Still clear and working fine afaik. Obviously check it for weird floaters or other nastiness before using but it should last for quite a while in the refrigerator.

That's great to hear. I hate the idea of throwing it away. Have you noticed any potency loss, or is it exactly as it was when you first opened it? Thanks

That is definitely hard to measure just by the “seat of my pants” but I am still loosing weight and it feels like it is working just fine. Sema for me is taken Monday and Thursday at .3 mg to help dull the hunger along with Tirz every 5 days for the food noise.

Very interesting. If you don't mind me asking about your dosing and what you started with, I'd like to know. Did you start 0.3 twice weekly? I started recently and followed standard guidance: 0.25 weekly on Tuesday. By Saturday/Sunday, my cravings are coming back. I know it is highly discouraged to start above 0.25 weekly, but I don't have side effects, and I feel I can up my dose. I am contemplating doing 0.25 twice weekly.

Buying 30mg vials when you're on 0.25mg weekly is insane. Even just dosing that little is going to be difficult and inaccurate.

But you do you.

I realized. I changed my order to 10mg vials. I don't think I will ever buy more than 10mg vials.

I have been adding .25 once a week since mid October so it isn't moving up all that much in the grand scheme of things.

I ain't dead yet, but fair enough. They were purchased when I first started and didn't really know any better.
