Compounded batch question - todays discussion

Double-checking my reconstitution math before I mix today. Would appreciate a sanity check on the ratios.

Writing it on the box is smart, I started doing that after second-guessing myself mid-draw once

I always write my numbers down before mixing, then check them twice, because one bad batch was enough for me.

Writing it out twice is smart. I do mine in a notebook and then check it against the syringe markings before I draw anything.

What ratio are you working with? Mine came out to a weird decimal and i ended up redoing it twice before i trusted it

I write mine on the box too, though mine's pencil since I keep second-guessing and erasing. Are you working in units or mg on your syringe?

Do you mix at the same time of day each time or just whenever? I've found batching it into my sunday routine keeps me from rushing the math

I write mine out on paper then say the numbers out loud, sounds silly but hearing it catches a slip my eyes miss. Curious what ratio you landed on?

I write mine on the fridge whiteboard too and still redo the whole thing before every mix. Wiping it off and starting clean has caught a slip for me more than once.

I do mine in the same order every time, units first then the water, mostly because I once mixed the two steps up in my head. Did your numbers come out where you expected?

What ratio are you mixing at? I do longhand on the back of an envelope every time and still double check the units twice before drawing

do you check the math against the vial label before you draw, or after? I read mine out loud now, that's the only thing that catches a swapped number for me

I keep a little card in the kit with the ratio already worked out so mix day is just copy and check, no fresh math under pressure. Do you redo it from scratch each time or work off a note like that?

honestly, i keep a little index card in the box with the ratio on it so I'm not doing it from memory every time.

honestly what are you reconstituting with, bac water or the saline that came with it? I switched to bac water after my first vial and the math changed on me

I write mine on the back of the vial box and then read it out loud once before drawing anything up, saying it out loud catches the slip my eyes skip right over

I still write mine out on the box lid before drawing anything up. What ratio are you mixing at?

writing it on the box lid works for me since the pen lives there anyway. What ratio did you land on?

I write mine on the box lid in pencil and still get the heebie jeebies before drawing up. What ratio did you land on?

What concentration is the vial, that's usually where I second guess myself too. I write mine on the box lid in marker so I'm not redoing the math from memory every time
