Air Bubble in Syringe

I use an insulin flat head syringe for HGH hwoever, I have trouble getting
very tiny air bubble from neck of syringe. I tap and tap and draw an extra
ml and inject back to bottle. Still having trouble. Is this any thing to worry
about?
 
Check the syringe for air bubbles. Air bubbles in the syringe will not be harmful if they are injected, but they can reduce the amount of medication in the syringe. To remove air bubbles, turn insulin syringe needle up and tap the syringe so the air bubbles rise to the top and evacuate any excess air by pressing on the plunger slightly.

just dont ever main line your hgh and you should be ok.
remember the shot IS sub-cutaneous NOT intermuscular

...and the air bubble can actually be used to ones advantage in an insulin pin in ensure that more of the medication is injected and less is lost. Thanks for that tip SCNTO.
 
to get rid of small air bubbles, pull some air into syringe to create large bubble. roll that around inside the syringe until all bubbles are condensed into one large bubble. expell air. you are good to go

I always used the tap method, I like that. Thanks for that info!

Okay, so are you a nurse or what?
 
I wouldn't be drawing more out of the bottle and putting it back in...esp. with gh as the molecule is very fragile... in some package inserts it says to not even shake it as it may make the solution useless....
 
im sure i have read a report that said to cause any damage through air would require several ml, if i can find the repot i will post it up
