Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you open amps the right way I feel you don't need filter needles but I never used an amp with T in it. Shounds to me like a safer way to do this but you can buy tools to open amps.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have used multi-dose vials for ED for years. Sometimes it would take me months to go through a vial. I never had a problem. I followed the following pecautions: I store the vial inside of a sealed pill bottle. Wash my hands before handling the pill bottle or the vial. Wipe any surface that I put the bottle or the vial down on, with alcohol. Wipe the rubber top of the vial before inserting the syringe. Wipe the rubber top of the vial before putting it away in its pill bottle. Store the pill bottle in a clean place. I've been doing this for more than ten years, with no problems.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Wow, that was very informative, thanks! Do you transfer from ampoule to multi-dose vial as well?? You forgot to mention that in your post. I'd prefer to buy the vial directly, but I don't have that option. > > > > > From: ttwenties <ttwenties@... <ttwenties%40>> > > > Subject: Filter Needles?... > > > < %40> > > > Date: Thursday, October 14, 2010, 4:57 PM > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > Someone suggested me filter needles to take off the Test > > > out of the glass ampoule.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 My meds are compounded and come in the vial. However, I am thinking of getting my testosterone in an ampoule which contains a much larger dose than I would want. If I do that, then I will simply transfer from the ampule to the vial with a needle and syringe. One trick, for those who have not used a sealed vial is that you first pull the plunger back in the syringe. Stick the needle through the rubber cap, and then inject air into the vial. Then withdraw your medicine into the syringe. This way, you create a slight positive pressure, and the solution goes into the syringe more easily. If you don't inject air into the vial with each dose, then you will create a partial vacuum over time, and the solution will be harder to withdraw into your syringe.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 That is a good process I don't go that far I wipe the vial before takeing the T out and I wipe my leg before doing the shot. I keep my vials in small make up case.
