Dosage question

I'm on 10mg husband is on 2.5. We cannot really afford 2 pens moving forward. Can I give him 4 doses from my pen but 15 clicks a time? What would the implication be of more dosage per ml of liquid carrier? Hope you understand what I mean. 2.5 is spread over 60mls and 10 is also spread over 60mls. Meaning if u have 2.5 from a 10mg pen you get less liquid. Thanks in advance.

It is a prescription medication. Nobody should share, He needs his own prescription!

I personally wouldn't.

I do count clicks from the next pen up, but attempting to deliver a dose in just 0.15ml of liquid, a quarter of a normal dose, feels as if it is stretching it too far.

I doubt you would do any harm in trying, but the percentage of dose inaccuracy might increase with such small quantities delivered from the kwikpen, or there might not be enough liquid to effectively disperse the medication once injected.

You need to also consider hygiene and potentially back flow into the liquid when injecting. His body flora will be very different to yours.

I would look at swapping pharmacies each order for a new customer discount and using each other's referral code before I would consider sharing medication in the way you describe.

It's also 0.6ml, not 60ml. It's already a very small amount of liquid, and trying to do a 0.15ml dose seems like there might be issues with accuracy of dosing, regardless of of the risk of cross contamination.

How is that going to be more cost effective?

But then you would be left without enough. How does this work?
