| I got the 28-G .1/2 needle 1cc. Can I use this one.
Also I got 23-G X 1.5 needle 3cc. I know this is not the recommended supply but someone gave me the syringes and I don't want to dispose them

| | If the 1cc needle is clearly marked where each decimal should be then you're ok. One half of that would be 500 iu's and one quarter of that would be 250 iu's and most people should only inject about 150 to 200 iu's. Will that be easy enough to figuer out on that big of a syringe? They are very inexpensive, you can buy the smaller ones a box of 100 for about $12 at Sam's club. The 3 cc ones you are using for mixing only right? |
