Thoughts on sharing a vial with a spouse?

Hi. My wife and I had been using liraglutide, which was prescribed by a doctor, but the expense forced us to quit.

Now we're making the change to reta. I've already begun, and she'll be starting before long.

Our plan is to mix up 1 vial at a time and have us both pull from that same vial. Compared with reconstituting 2 separate vials, this strikes us as far more efficient, particularly in the beginning while our doses remain low.

I'm well aware, of course, that sharing needles is absolutely out of the question. But if every needle and syringe (BAC water mixing ones included) is used exactly once and each one only punctures the vial a single time, does sharing 1 vial carry any risk that having a vial each would not?

The other option would be to purchase empty sterile vials and divide the contents after reconstitution, though I can't tell whether that's meaningfully safer. It would certainly be more of a hassle.

When it comes to tirazeptide 60 and Semax 30, my wife and I draw from the same vial. To me, that's fine—we swab the vial stoppers with alcohol and never reuse a syringe.
 
you know, there's actually a possible argument against a spouse and you drawing from the same vial; given that massive overfill, endos, contamination and the like are real risks, you could make the case for keeping not just vials separate, but kits too. Suppose the vial you end up with has absurd overfill, absurdly high endotoxin, the wrong pep, or some other problem that lands you seriously ill, and the two of you are drawing from that same vial: then you're both in a bad spot when you're both headed to the ER or both throwing up for a week, with nobody left to bring soup, feed the cats, take the kids to school, or whatever else married people do to co-manage a house.

If your kits stay separate and your buying practices are careful, that (already low) risk drops a lot. It's the sort of thing that would almost certainly never happen, but if it did, it'd be the worst several weeks ever because it might be both of you.
 
Yeah, spacing out injection days isn't a terrible plan. 48hrs rather than 24 should be enough, I'd think. Hard to imagine any gremlins appearing past the 48 hr mark.

AirDaddy, damn you! Coffee just went everywhere across this damn tablet! 🤣
 
My wife and I have already gone this route. I even keep a short record of my doses, amounts, and other specifics so that physicians have something to go on if I'm not around. No problems came of it, and she began a few days afterward.

For each new kit, we'll probably stick to that same approach.
 
When I first began, I figured that was exactly why the 60 and 100 vials existed — we use the same one. 🤷‍♂️
 
If you and your partner each take 5mg, that's 10mg weekly combined, so a 40mg vial makes financial sense. The vial itself is indifferent—just inject weekly alongside your spouse. With proper technique, a vial will comfortably remain usable for 1 month.

If you're planning to run the whole thing at once, I call dibs on your belongings… 😎

No — a 10ml vial holds 6ml altogether. The product already contains 3ml BAC; once it's filtered into a 10ml vial, another 3ml BAC goes in. For our 9mg shots, my wife and I will draw from that same vial. That works out to roughly 15 doses, meaning one vial covers 2 months for each of us.

If I were to put in 8ml of BAC, each injection would be 51 units rather than 38 units when using 6ml. The number of doses stays at 15.
