Last dose in vial

[timberghost]

So does anyone know a trick to get the last dose out of the vial since it is kinda flat it's real hard to get the needle to draw it up. or do I just get a refill and carry on, just hate to waste the stuff. Know what I mean.

I don't really think it's worth it but if you're careful not to cut yourself you can stick a pointed knife under the bottom of the soft metal (aluminum?) that secures the rubber stopper and twist the blade which should start a cut in the metal, increase the cut and bit further and you should be able to pull the metal band off along with the rubber stopper. That way you can get your needle down into the corner and slurp up the dregs. Tap the vial gently on something to get all of the drops to the bottom where they can be slurped up. Be careful not to dull your needle on the bottom of the vial.

My meds aren't expensive enough to mess with it. However, from experimentation from when this topic came up previously I learned there is probably a full dose remaining as dregs. Depending on your dose or course.

I didn't experiment enough to figure out a fool proof way to do it without risk of injury. I didn't get cut but the rick is certainly there.


Edited for typo.
