Fresh compounded tirz question, injecting in a few hours

I've kept mine in the fridge the whole time and never had an issue, even the vial that sat for a couple weeks between doses. I'm on 15 myself and down 37 lbs, so clearly it held up fine for me. Just keep it cold and you're good.

Mine stays in the fridge door and I just swap vials when one runs dry, never had an issue. Down 7 lbs myself so far and the routine is honestly the easy part now. Good luck with your first shot from the new batch.

Fridge has worked for me the whole way through my 46 lb loss, so I never bothered with anything fancier. Only thing I'd add is to let it sit out a few minutes before injecting since cold shots sting more, at least that's been my experience.

#6

Mine lives in the fridge main shelf, not the door where temps swing, and even a vial open for a month treated me fine. Down 22 lbs using this routine so it seems to work. You'll be set.

#8

Mine stays on a middle fridge shelf too, and I've had a vial last well past a month with no issues. Down 28 lbs along the way so clearly nothing got compromised. Congrats on hitting goal, that's huge.

#9

Mine lives in the fridge door shelf and I take it out maybe 20 minutes before injecting so it's not ice cold. Similar boat here, down about 20 lbs on reta. Good luck with the first shot tonight.

Mine lives in the fridge door and I just draw what I need each week, no issues so far. Only about 5 lbs in for me but the routine is already second nature. Good luck with the first shot from the new batch!

#13

Fridge the whole time for me too, just pull it out while I get everything ready. The warm-up tip others mentioned helped me a lot when I was starting out. Hope the first shot goes smoothly for you.

#14

Mine lives in the fridge door and I pull it out maybe ten minutes before injecting, seems to sting less that way. Down 12 lbs since starting so whatever I'm doing is working okay. Good luck tonight, first ones are always the scariest.

#15

Mine stays in the fridge the whole time and I take it out while washing my hands, so maybe five minutes of warming up. The sting was way less for me once I stopped injecting it cold. Hope tonight goes easy for you.

#16

I'm on Ozempic but same approach worked for me -- fridge always, out maybe ten minutes before the shot. That little warm-up window made the sting basically disappear. Good luck tonight, sounds like you're set up right.

#17

Fridge shelf (not the door) worked better for mine, and I let it sit out while I get my site ready -- maybe five or ten minutes. Nearly 40 lbs into this whole thing and the cold-shot sting trick still holds up. You've got this.

#18

10 lbs in, same routine here -- fridge shelf, vial out while I prep the site, and the cold sting stopped being an issue for me too. Door storage always made me nervous anyway with the temp swings.
