Last Pen Dose?

You realize that when the plunger is pushed down that the cartridge is exposed to the environment and definitely no longer sterile. Refilling the cartridge (and pushing the plunger back out) is a sure way to have a non-sterile cartridge. I would strongly recommend against this.
I know. It's why I started that statement with "And I will admit to doing". I'm not recommending it. It was a knee-jerk reaction to only getting half a dose when the pen ran out.

I do understand the risk. Which is probably less than the likely staph levels in my peptides before I began filtering last month. I'm ok with it.

I wanted to make sure everyone else understood too 🙂 . Filtering and not refilling cartridges are definitely best practices!

And to be nitpicky in your support, if you didn’t push the cartridge stopper back so far that exposed area went back into the fluid chamber, you’re still good. You can only do that once though. I suggest instead pushing some air into the cartridge and pulling out the remainder of the solution using a syringe so you can use that . A part of me sees the 4-5 units still stuck to the sides and is sad to waste it.
