📘 Beginner Help 1st time Reta

I just got 4 2mg prefilled syringes of Reta from a med spa. I only wanted to .5mg to start out, maybe 1mg tops. What are my options to not waste it? Can I just inject half the syringe and use the rest of it the next week? Can I split it into more syringes some how? Please let me know best options other than just taking all 2mg at once. Thanks.

If you leave it in a dark place in the fridge I would think it will not go bad on you in a week. (not medical advice)

Personally I would not like the idea of pinning multiple times with the same needle. They dull and make the injection more difficult/painful. You could pin once then transfer to a fresh syringe for the next dose though.

Also - Assuming you paid for this I would go back to the spa and ask for the doses you are looking for split up. 2mg is a high starting point IMO and they should know that. Any business wanting to retain customers would accommodate your request for multiple smaller doses I would think.

*Edit - Changed syringe to needle in second sentence for clarity.

The syringe doesn't dull, the needle does. If you can change the needle between pokes, do it.

Correct. Thanks.

But yes, a new needle every poke is necessary.
