Hospira Bac Water to SEA

[morti]

Hi, I live in Sunny Singapore and Hospira Bac Water seems pretty hard to get here, and every other part of South East Asia. Does anyone know how us SEA people can get Hospira? Thanks in advance and cheers.

Have you considered a courier service like someone that will purchase your BAC in USA and forward the shipment to you?

Below is an excerpt from the extremely informative PepTok interview with Peter Magic of Janoshik, he says the insistence on using BAC water is unfounded and unnecessary; that most places in the world use either saline .9% or simply ultra pure or sterile water to reconstitute peptides.

He literally says the problems BAC water may solve are roughly offset by other problems it can cause with site reactions.

The above is part of the longer, 48min interview, which is really worth watching:

That said, as it's easy to get here for $10/vial, I've got a flat of 'em coming in the mail tomorrow anyway.

Yes I've considered a reshipper, but seeing that this is BAC Water, I'm worried that a regular reshipper like Buy & Ship wouldn't be able to do it...

Yes extremely easy to get it in the US, I've considered using Braun Sterile Water but have heard that if I do use Braun, I've to finish the vial within 2 weeks which I'm not sure I'll be able to...

From the longer interview above:

44:20- Interviewer: "According to Peter from Janoshik, you can reconstitute your peptide with sterile water and keep those for 28 days in the refrigerator with no problem?" Peter: "Yeah, sure."

Get a brand name sterile water or saline for injection. Use for a month. He even mentions 8 weeks being fine, but says he cannot recommend that, for liability reasons only.

I don't know who is telling you to only use a vial for 2 weeks, but there's no one who I've would trust more than this guy for this advice, in this space.

Thanks deluge, will try braun sterile water then.

I do that all the time no issues with customs

I see, do you also use Buy & Ship or is there another one that works for you? Thanks in advance!

If you use sterile water for dilution of your peptides AND you plan on using the vial for more than the 1 needle stick, you have a non-zero risk of contamination. Even when using a laminar flow hood in a very clean environment ( hospital pharmacy, compound IVs and TPNs ) a single use vial of a medication is NEVER used for more 1 shift.

At least if you are using BAC water, your risk of contaminating your vial is less.

Janoshik is a good lab, but they are ( IMHO ) more concerned with the stability of your peptides that your potential risk to yourself.

And I am fairly sure that few of the cohort here are gowned up in a clean room using a laminar flow hood.

Safety is paramount. Again, IMHO.

That is a very fair point, safety is indeed paramount. I will try to get some Hospira Bac Water via a reshipper and hopefully that will work.

Has anyone had any experience using a reshipping service/reshipper to Singapore/Indonesia and has one that they would recommend?
