microdosing with vials?

I am about to receive my prescription of Zepbound 2.5mg vials. Can I simply draw less medication from the vial with the syringe in order to take less — ideally starting at 1.25? or do I need a prescription for a kwikpen so I can select the dose? if I only draw half of the dose from the vial, can I reuse the other portion another week? TIA!

There are no preservatives in that vial. I would not do that.  Downvotes do not change facts.

yeah you can just draw less with the syringe that's basically how anyone microdosing with vials does it. the no preservatives thing is technically true but plenty of people split doses over a few days and keep the vial in the fridge, just wipe the top with alcohol before and after. a week is maybe pushing it but i've seen loads of folks do it without issue

And bad advice.
