How to store reta

[dandam]

On the forum I read that reta can be kept in the fridge for no more than 21 days after being reconstituted. For someone who has just started and takes 0.5 mg per week, this means having to throw away the entire 4 mg vial when it’s only half used, because after about 3 or 4 injections I’m already close to the end of the month. How do you handle this?

Here is a link to a discussion I found useful a few days ago on this very topic. https://glp1forum.com/threads/reconstituted-reta-whats-the-latest-on-shelf-life.8635/#post-99625

I thought it was like 6 weeks and then you adjust for degradation like add 10% to each dose to make up the difference

That's too complicated for me. I used my first vials for up to 10 weeks. I filled the syringe and let the syringe come to room temp, not the vial. I was strict about hygiene, always wiping the top with an alcohol pad, before and after. Then, after a month, I checked the vial before use for cloudiness and for any particulates or floaters. Never had an issue. Peptides are not that fragile and most vendors overfill anyway, so degradation is not going to be an issue within that timeframe.

My first vial I think I used for about 10 weeks, until it was empty. Accidently put it in the freezer twice. It was semaglutide. Just looked it was right at 11 weeks. In the feels it felt fine.
