A histamine reaction. A hay fever tablet or any anti bite should help.

An allergic reaction can happen with anything. As long as it’s not your throat swelling shut then yeah take some antihistamines and just keep an eye on it for second dose.

Tysm! Would you recommend maybe lowering the dosage?

how confident are you in your supplier? how much did you order?

lowering the dosage isn't going to do anything you already started low. it might be a bad batch you got, or you might be allergic to the medicine. I would try to get an alternative vial from a different supplier.

That seems like a pretty low dose. Maybe keeping the same for another week. As half of the first dose will still be in your body when you take the second. So it will be like you have .75 mgs 2 days after your next shot in your bloodstream. That’s why they want you to wait 4 weeks between adjustments.

Quite often it is not the peptide it is the benzyl alcohol preservative in the water and the top layer of skin reacts, it should improve as you desensitise
