Pre filling glp1 syringe

[Nikki nik]

Do you or have you prefilled your meds syringe after reconstituting a few weeks at a time?! Does it lose potency?

 

[Int96]

No. Use a pen instead.

 

[Jackal]

No. It can leak and it is not sterile anymore. I don't know about the potency.

I din’t do it. The syringes are not designed to maintain sterility.

No unless you really don't care about your life, then I guess you could do it

When I was on brand, I’d siphon the last bit out into a syringe for the next week. Now, my mom uses brand and won’t use what’s left, so I do the same to hers. Sometimes I leave it in the syringe, sometimes into an empty vial.

I’m maybe not a model you should follow, but I’m also not sick/dead. And there are (soon to be were) med spas and even doctor’s offices that send folks home with prefilled syringes.

When I am using vials with more peotides than I can use in three months (my comfort level for leaving things refrigerated), I am filling extra pen cartridges and freezing them. When one cartridge runs out, I pull another one from the freezer into a pen in the fridge. The biggest challenge so far has been labeling cartridges. Labels interfere with pen clearance, so I have to use sharpies labels I can easily remove before inserting cartridge into pen. This is my approach to GLP1s, since they seem very durable to freezing and long term storage.
For Tesamorelin I prefer using it all asap without freezing.

I've prefilled and frozen luer lock syringes for botox - I can never use all 100 units in one day. With BAC saline I am not concerned with bacteria. I have sterile luer lock caps on and syringes are stored in zip loc bags. I wouldn't risk it with fixed needle slin pins. BA keeps bacteria from multiplying inside the solution, but there's nothing to keep the fixed needle sterile once it's been used.

Unlikely to kill you. Plenty of people do it. Not the best practice.

It's also cause death people can't really speak up
