Do you or have you prefilled your meds syringe after reconstituting a few weeks at a time?! Does it lose 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
Bah, I do it all the time. Med spa's distribute their GLP1's prefilled many times. As long as you follow sterile practices you'll be alright. Long term storage no. Keep them out of the light.
You guys are trusting these pens more than you are a sterile syringe? Bah!

I think sterile is the key word here. Pens have disposable tips.
How do you fill an insulin syringe while keeping the needle sterile? Once you expose it to air, it may accumulate bacteria. Once you get it wet by puncturing the stopper, you may get bacteria growth on surface of the needle and inside the barrel of the needle. The latter is also true if you backfill and bleed off some liquid with air.
Med spas may be using EO to make filled syringes sterile. That's not something available to home user.
Of course people who own kittens get a lot more bacteria under their skin daily than with insulin pins. But this may be important to people with weaker immunity

You know where you are right?

Pen cartridges work similar to luer lock syringes. They have disposable needles. Needle is not part of the cartridge. Benzyl Alcohol inside the cartridge prevents bacteria growth. Nothing stopping bacteria from growing outside, that's why you wipe the stopper with alcohol pad and use sterile disposable pen tip.
I pre-fill some peptides the night prior to injection to give the temperature time to adjust. I’m convinced that in the short amount of time between filling and injection that the needle dulls.

Two dead people told me via Oujia board that the syringes are not what killed then.
