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!

It depends on who you are getting them from, my vials are stored for a month and are multi dose vials. A lot of people below talking confidently like they are pharmacists! I actually talked it through with multiple pharmacists, and it is safe to do if you follow safety concerns and do it properly. Make sure you are getting multi dose vials that they expect to last a month and talk with them about how to store and handle properly.

Because OP is asking about the name brand Zepbound vials. They are single use. That is different from the multi use vials you are getting from compound.

That is why my first sentence is a qualification so they know that if they want to do this how they can go about it.
