buying your saline
- Thread starter Jane
- Start date
I have been wondering that too. I recieved 15ml vials. I have been just squeezing out the amount for one treatment and then putting the vial back in the box and then using more for my next treatment, etc, though I have been mixing 10% with normal saline to get about 7%. Anyway, one vial last 2 days. I don't like the idea of doing that, but it does not seem that bad to me either. Is this risky?

I keep using the vials too. I put them in a Ziploc bag until my next treatment. I'm sure there's some bacterial issue there, but I'm not just gonna trow them out. Anyway, they didn't tell me what to do with them, so I just figured what to do.
I asked the head therapist & the doctor about this. They both said its safe to put the open vials in a baggy & stick in the fridge until its used up. Unless for some reason you wont be using it right away it will be ok! It is a waste to put it in the size vials & then give "strict" instructions to throw out the rest. Please.....
It's safe to reuse the vials until they are gone, provided that you use them within 30 days of opening. That is the standard at most hospitals as well, so don't throw it away if you don't have to. It is a waste.
Does your pharmacy tell you to discard of it?? As long as you aren't putting the same needle in there as you just used to pull something else out with , there isn't a problem.

Is anyone doing the 3 percent saline? or have you all moved on to the 7 percent? I am still at 3.. I tried 7 and I coughed so hard I got chest pain and needed to take nitrogylcerin.. dumb heart!!!!
I like the saline but I can't stand adding more treatment time to my schedule.. I think I am going to only do the saline on my OFF tobi months...

Guys I have been sharing needles with this dude Tyrone down the street, do you guys think there might be any potential dangers in this? Tyrone eats grapenuts every morning with 2% milk, and i've seen him run from the police many times so I think he's in shape, so I should be ok right?

BTW that response of mine wasn't a dig at Jane, I just thought the idea of sharing needles with a guy named Tyrone who runs from the cops and frequently eats grapenuts with 2% milk and asking if it was ok was funny.</end quote></div>
Sean,
BTW, I have a friend too and he's coming down to kick your Florida *ss for making fun of my post, after he finishes his yogurt.
Love,
