Can the vials used to mix the hcg with bac water be used in a pinch if somehow cleaned out before reuse?

How are you going to "clean" them? They are sealed.

You can buy them at a pharmacy. Personally, I wouldn't risk infection by recycling.

[attanilifardy]

NO please do not attempt to clean or reuse the vials they are sterile and you do not want to inject anything into your body that is non sterile. I do not know how the product you are using but the RX has a vial of diluent and a vial of powder. You ad the diluent to powder and use out of that multi dose vial until it is gone then discard and begin a new one. I know I am a sterile product certified pharmacist and a little paranoid about everyone mixing their own HCG. We produce one in the lab and distibute it already made in a month supply multi dose vial It does have to be refirgerated but is premixed. All you need is syringes and needles. Jim

Jim, my doctor wanted to give me premixed hcg, already loaded in the syringes, but I asked her to let me mix it myself. I was really disappointed, because she gave me an 11000 iu vial of hcg, and 22 ml bacteriostat, mixing syringes and dosing needles. What she gave me is enough for 40 250 iu doses, or 80 125 iu doses, so I purchased almost twice the amount I can use, for injections (but not quite enough to use sublingually). And since all 11000 ius are in the same vial, I have to mix it all up at once, so it will all expire in 45 days. I think she should have gotten me 2000 iu vials (or at least 5000 iu), and I could mix it up as needed, without it going bad. Then if I had to do a planned interruption, or if I had some leftover, I would still have unexpired hcg on hand to resume my round, or for a later round. JMO

I think mixing the hcg and giving the needles is a no brainer, once you know what to do. It isn't rocket science.

our Dr does the 45 day program so we dispense the 45 day supply I understand your frustration if you are doing a 23 or 30 day program. Mixing it is no problem for most but freaks some people out at first. If kept refrigerated,, it should still be ok even after the assigned ex date. It might have lost some of its potency but would not harm you. We use the same solution for sublingual or injection.

Hi LynneR,
I had a friend in a similar situation. She solved it by mixing the huge amount of hcg she received, divided it into several new sterile vials via a mixing syringe (about what she would need for a round) and froze the mixed hcg vials. She took a new one out of the freezer as needed. They did not seem to lose any potency, as she was able to stick to the same dosage each time.

My daughter also would pre-fill syringes and freeze those. Worked fine also.

Just remember if you choose to freeze, to leave a little room for expansion of liquid.

Hope that helps.

The whole point is that the mixing vials come sealed for a reason. Like jbcsa said, anything you inject must be absolutely sterile. Try cutting corners by reusing things like mixing vials & syringes, & you will have problems a lot worse than needing to lose weight. People DIE from staph infections. Don't risk it!

Jim, I'm not even sure how many doses I have, since the doc is telling me to inject 250 ius a day, and I know from everyone on here that that is too high a dosage and I should probably start around 150 iu. I read that if I do sublingual, I need to take the same dosage I would inject, but twice a day. So the 11000 ius is enough for injection, but not quite enough for sublingual. I may try your 45 day program, since I should have plenty of extra hcg. Is it ok to clean and reuse the dropper bottles? The doc had told me she gives these 250iu doses, and if her patients get hungry she has them supplement with hcg drops to kill the hunger. I'm not sure if it's possible to not be hungry on 250 iu, and I'm not sure if she does homeopathic drops, or rx, but if it is rx then saving my extra drops in a dropper bottle might come in handy.

Caiden, Good idea about freezing the extra in vials. I'll see if I can get a couple of vials from the local pharmacy, as that sounds better than freezing it in shots. Or I may just freeze them in a dropper bottle.

So true!!!! Staph infections can be extremely dangerous! I certainly would not risk it.

Lynn, your doc mixes up large batches and counts out the syringes to dispense. Hcg in large quantity is much cheaper than in the 2000 iu bottles, when mixing large quantities....that's why he gave you what he did.

Ive frozen it before too, and it does ok. Remember to thaw it over night in the fridge.

Ill also chime in on the sterility issue. I know the vials seem to be a bit pricey, and are in short supply in some areas. But there is absolutely no way they can be reused safely for injections. There is no way to clean the inside of them, and any hcg left in the vial would contaminate a new batch. Also, any infection that you would get would probably require surgical intervention to get rid of. Antibiotics won't reach the sub q fat area very effectively....so the point is, reusing the vial could cost about $15,000, or more.
