- Extended protocols with moderate doses; maximises draws per vial at cost of larger injection volumes
- Higher concentrations (1mL reconstitution) allow smaller injection volumes—beneficial when injection site tolerance is a concern or when administering multiple compounds in sequence. Lower concentrations (2.5mL reconstitution) extend the number of doses per vial and reduce measurement error at low dose ranges—a 200mcg dose is easier to measure accurately as 10 ticks at 2mg/mL than as 4 ticks at 5mg/mL. The trade-off: lower concentrations require more total liquid per dose, which may be unsuitable for protocols with strict volume limits.
