Hello,
I am mixing HCG with Sterile Water that comes with the package. How long do you think my Vial of HCG is good for before bacteria starts going? I am using it for 3 weeks.Thanks!

David8877Discard the existing medication immediately: For your health and safety, do not inject this vial of HCG again. Replace with antibacterial solution: If you need to inject the same vial of HCG multiple times over several weeks, you must dilute it with a dedicated antibacterial solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol or antibacterial saline. HCG diluted with antibacterial solution and kept refrigerated can usually be stored for 28 to 30 days, provided that the stopper is disinfected with an alcohol swab before each puncture under strict aseptic conditions.
I’ve always heard if you use sterile water that the injection should be administered immediately. The reasoning behind this is that sterile water does not contain anything to combat bacterial growth. So every time the needle pierces the vial you risk compromising sterility. Without the additional alcohol in there if you did introduce bacteria, it would continue to multiply and you would never know until you’re draining the abscess on your ass. I would recommend using only BAC water for multiple use vials. This is a conservative stance, but why wouldn’t you be when we’re talking about injecting your body with something.
You caught it & I didn’t. My bad, I was giving an answer to bac water not sterile water
Just make sure you use proper techniques for keeping the vial sterile, use new needles, refrigerate. I keep my preloded syringes inside ziplock bags, inside tupper wear just to be extra safe. 3 weeks you will be fine.
I’d say there are more knowledgeable guys on here than myself, but I’ve always heard a month kept in the fridge. I’ve personally had some I’ve used lil past a month tho
