Bacteriostatic water sourcing guide — need advice

From the other side of the consultation, briefly.

Ongoing cost tracking for dosing arithmetic — transparency for the community:

Monthly medication cost: $110
Supplies (syringes, BAC water, alcohol swabs): ~$8/month
Janoshik testing: ~$10/month (amortized quarterly)
Lab work: ~$40/month (amortized quarterly)
Total: ~$220/month

Compare to brand Wegovy at $1300/month without insurance. Compounded is roughly 88% cheaper for what I have found to be clinically equivalent medication.

Compounding pharmacy dose accuracy check for dosing arithmetic: I always verify my first dose from a new vial by weighing it on a milligram scale. Draw up your dose, weigh the syringe, subtract empty syringe weight, compare to expected water weight at that volume.

For a 10-unit dose (0.1mL): expected weight ~100mg of water. If it's significantly off, your syringe may be inaccurate. Cheap insulin syringes can have ±5% volume accuracy. Spring for quality brands like BD or Terumo.

Right, and one flattering data point from a group buy is not consistency. Consistency means separate batches, separately commissioned, over months.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.
