So both times I’ve gone to draw up my meds from the Hallandale multi-use vial I’ve REALLY struggled to get it. Like it takes several tries to get enough liquid into the syringe. Occurred to me when I injected today (afterward) that it was because I hadn’t broken the vacuum by injecting air into the vial. Because the instructions from Hallandale didn’t say to do that, so I assumed there was a reason I shouldn’t. But now I think maybe the instructions are leaving that out and I should’ve been injecting air.

Does anyone know if I’m meant to inject air into the vial? (I sent a message to Hallandale support asking them directly as well and will share here if/when they respond.)

Possibly the dumbest question ever asked in this sub, but I’m brand new, just got my first shipment (so fast!) and I am one of those people that examines and reads every single thing in a situation like this so… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m done wigging out a little about the differences from what I was doing before (so many units! reusable vial!) and now I’m onto parsing the names of things. What does “forte” mean on the tirzepatide? (Hallandale) Anyone know? Thanks.

If this has been asked and answered before, I cannot find it by searching. Then again, it’s a weird thing to try to search for so I’m probably just missing it. Apologies if it’s well-covered already, and if you don’t mind, can you give me the secret mystery words to search for to find those posts? 😅

Has anyone stopped taking Zepbound long enough to lose the pricing discount that Lilly gives you that they say is only good as long as you refill every so many days, and then come back to Zep later? Did you get the pricing discount again or were you told you had to pay the higher amount going forward? Hopefully that makes sense.
