Would you use Hospira for 6 mos?

[ScienceHippo]

I'll only go through 4ml maybe 5ml of Hospira BAC per month. Anyone use a 30ml for 6 mos? Am I dumb for even thinking this thought?

 

[ZippityDooDah]

I just finished up a vial I originally opened last August.

Oh DAMN! Really!? Well this makes me very happy. How did you store it after first puncture?

 

[gusterbuster]

The trick is to become a full blown lab rat and inject no less than half dozen peps. BAC goes faster this way.

Yes, I am. I also refrigerate since I live in a hot place.

 

[Skidude]

I have used all bottles until they were gone. Some go faster than others but 6 months with proper care an handling would not concern me.

1. cleaned before and after
2. not used or stored near toilet
3. Store in cool dark place (cupboard)

that's me...

Man, you aint kidding. I came for the tirz, but I've already got a pending reta buy, and am finding all kinds of things I might jab myself a lab rat with

Im using a bottle of bac water that i last used over 2 years ago. Water and alcohol doesnt expire or degrade. It wont in my lifetime anyway.

No, im not worried about bacteria. I dont contaminate the vial. Even if i did, thats what the benzyl alcohol is in the water for.

I mean this makes sense to me. But I'm pretty new to this, so I had to ask. I am super glad to have that feedback. Thank you.

I have yet to hear of a reasonable argument against freezing, thawing, and refreezing an opened vial of bac.

Additionally, for tirzepatide (but not other peptides) I'm okeydokey about reconstituting numerous vials at once and freezing the spare reconnned ones.

YMMV. Find your bliss range.

Would you do this with reta?

No, don't freeze reconstituted Reta, fridge only. I also use my BAC till gone.

Note the (but not other peptides) that is the key there Tirzepatide is often called the cockroach of peptides due to its durability so to speak. Other peptides will be greatly degraded under conditions that Tirzepatide effectively just shrugs off. I'm not all that familiar with reta but I would hesitate at freezing it, I suspect it's efficiency would be drastically reduced if not entirely ruined.

 

[Sid the SeaGull]

I have , when I was splitting R50. No worries. I'm not aware of testing, but a few others have and had no issue . I've upped my dosage so it does not make sense now but early Reta days it worked fine in my experience.

I also refrigerate my hospita bac , again everyone says l this is a no no . I live in a hot climate so for me it makes sense.

And like zipper , I'll use bac 30ml until its gone unless I see a problem with it or my peps.

So, what is the consensus here on refrigerating BAC after opening? Yes or no?

 

[indolent]

Group testing was done to learn the effect on freeze/thaw over time for reconstituted peps (tirz and a couple of others in one test; reta in another one). Tirz had virtually no reduction of mass, while reta had a bit ... probably enough that you wouldn't want to forgo the forfeited effects.

That leaves open the question of sterility and endotoxins, which weren't tested. Speculation revolves around (irreversible?) separation of alcohol due to freezing, and around damage to the seal on vials due to freezing. I'm skeptical.

So, what is the consensus here on refrigerating BAC after opening? Yes or no?

Don't look for consensus on anything here ... you need to find your own comfort level and take your own risks. Even if you're evaluating Big Pharma or surgery treatment from your board-certified MD.

I put mine back in the cabinet. I used to say not to put in the fridge on the vials, but I just looked at a couple and didn't see it.

So, what is the consensus here on refrigerating BAC after opening? Yes or no?

I vaguely remember some testing completed on this topic that I will have to look up. There were some specific bacteria that BAC was less effective at suppressing when temperatures got lower.

It convinced me to not refrigerate. I'll post again if I can find it.

I saw results of testing on BAC lately, sorry, I don't have a link. It showed BAC stays good for 90 days after first use.
I store mine at room temp, before and after first use.

Ya, that's the one.
Looking at those numbers, I probably would use for 120 days, although I never get anywhere close to that.

 

[rixsternaz]

I wouldn't use BAC water after 90 days looking at the chart. The BAC water degrades pretty quickly after 90 days. But like most of us lab rats our BAC water would be depleted by 90 days. I wish those 10ml BAC vials were more available.
