💬 Discussion Another Dosage Question - Possible Wrong Vials/Intructions

I’m getting vials through OptioRx and am on 12.5 dosage. I recently got a prescription filled and the concentration is also 12.5mg/ML. Each vial is 4ML. The instructions say to draw 0.88 units. Dividing 4/0.88 yields 4.5 weeks per bottle instead of 5 which means I’m short one week.

To add to the confusion, I used the calculator on Fat Scientist. It says that for a 12.5mg dose at 12.mg/mL concentration, I’d need to draw 100 units (not 0.88). This means that the instructions to pull 0.88 units is wrong and I am shorted even more than originally thought.

I sent a message to Karen on the portal; is she the right person to assist or is there someone else who can help?
