This is what professional compounding pharmacy shipping looks like. If your order arrives without these basics, reconsider your vendor.

Compounding pharmacy dose accuracy check for dosing arithmetic: I always verify my first dose from a new vial by weighing it on a milligram scale. Draw up your dose, weigh the syringe, subtract empty syringe weight, compare to expected water weight at that volume.
For a 10-unit dose (0.1mL): expected weight ~100mg of water. If it's significantly off, your syringe may be inaccurate. Cheap insulin syringes can have ±5% volume accuracy. Spring for quality brands like BD or Terumo.

Regarding dosing arithmetic multi-dose vial contamination prevention: after reconstituting, I wipe the vial stopper with a fresh alcohol swab before EVERY single draw. I also never touch the stopper with my fingers and use a new needle for each draw.
Even with bacteriostatic water preservative, contamination is cumulative. One sloppy draw can introduce bacteria that multiply over days. Aseptic technique isn't optional — it's essential for injectable medications.
