Got a new batch today and had a storage question. How do you all handle it after opening?
Fresh compounded tirz question, injecting in a few hours
I just keep mine in the fridge door and it's been fine. Curious if anyone actually tracks the 28 day thing or just goes by feel?
Mine just lives in the fridge door shelf, though i've noticed the cold makes the shot sting a bit more going in
Mine's been on the same fridge shelf for months and it's held up fine. Do you keep it in the box it came in or loose?
Mine lives in the butter drawer, mostly because that's the one shelf nobody opens. Where are you keeping yours?
I keep mine in the fridge too but I'm curious whether anyone has actually noticed a difference in how it feels near the end of a vial versus a fresh one
Door shelf was my mistake early on, temps swing way more than the main shelf.
Cold ones sting for me too, so I let mine sit out maybe ten minutes before drawing. Do you wipe the vial top each time or just once when it's new?
Do you leave it in the fridge between draws or pull it out early to warm up? Mine comes out about 20 minutes before I pin, mostly because cold stings going in
Middle shelf for me too, though I leave it out a few minutes before drawing so it's not ice cold going in.
Middle shelf for me too, and I keep it in the box so it doesn't catch the light. Do you draw your dose straight from the vial or transfer it first?
Do you leave it in the door or move it to the back? My fridge door swings a lot and I always wondered if that jostling matters
I keep mine in the butter drawer so it doesn't get bumped around, and it seems to hold steady there between doses.
Mine stays in the fridge door, not the back where it can freeze. I just take it out while I wash my hands and load the pen.
mine stays in the fridge door too, though I've never bothered timing the warm-up. Does the ten minutes actually make a difference for you?
Does the batch come with a beyond-use date on it? Mine did and I just go by that once it's open, though I'm only a few weeks in so curious what longer-term folks do.
I keep mine in the fridge door too, but I never bother with the ten minute wait. Honestly the sting doesn't bug me much so I just go straight from cold.
Door shelf here as well. I wipe the vial top with alcohol before and after each draw, which is the part I changed after my first batch
Multi dose pen here, and I just wipe the cap with alcohol before and after each pin, then straight back in the fridge door. No issues so far
Single dose here too. I just wipe the vial top and pop it straight back in the fridge door after pinning, no fuss.
