Following on from Dr.RheumBOS — and this may be the naive question:
What a vetting checklist should actually contain, as opposed to a list of things that are easy to fake?

Bacteriostatic water quality matters for dosing arithmetic reconstitution. Not all BAC water is created equal:
- Should contain 0.9% benzyl alcohol as preservative
- Must be sterile and pyrogen-free
- Should come in a sealed, intact vial
- Check expiration date — yes, BAC water expires
- Store at room temperature, protected from light
I buy from a reputable medical supply company, not Amazon marketplace sellers. The $3 savings isn't worth the infection risk from unverified BAC water.

dosing arithmetic — critical reminder about tirzepatide dose equivalence across formulations:
Mounjaro KwikPen and compounded tirzepatide are the same molecule but:
- KwikPen is ready to inject, no mixing needed
- Compounded requires reconstitution and proper syringe technique
- Verify your compounded concentration before each injection
- Never assume 1 vial = 1 dose without checking the math

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.
Peptide calculator app recommendation for dosing arithmetic: I use DoseRight to calculate reconstitution volumes and injection doses. Eliminates math errors completely.
Input: vial size (mg), desired concentration (mg/mL), prescribed dose (mg)
Output: BAC water volume (mL), injection volume (units on insulin syringe)
A math error with injectable medication can mean underdosing or overdosing. Use a calculator every time until the math becomes second nature.
