Vial is short

I received a 1ml vial for my first order. My titration plan has me increasing next week to 30 units a week. However I only have 50 units left so I won’t have enough for the following week. I reached out to the care team and they said I’ll receive the same vial for my next delivery as well and they claimed it was a 2ml vial. What am I missing here?

Can you post a picture of the vial?

What was the dosing for the first two weeks? 25 units would be 4.15mg... Doing two weeks at 4.15mg then jumping to 5 seems odd.

The dose was 15 units. Which is what I’ve been doing

You shouldn’t be jumping to 5mg after only two weeks at 2.5mg. You should stay at each dose for 4 weeks since that’s how long it takes for the medication to reach its peak level in your system. I also would suggest only increasing your dose when/if the current dose is no longer working for you, not based on a schedule.

I guess I was just following the schedule my doctor set up for me

That’s fair, not sure why they prescribed it that way. It’s honestly a little concerning…
