Therefore, care should be taken not to shake the PROCRIT vial vigorously before use. Unless you have been prescribed Multidose PROCRIT (1 mL or 2 mL vials with a big "M" on the label, each containing a total of 20,000 Units of PROCRIT), vials of PROCRIT are for single use. Any unused portion of a vial should not be used. However, Multidose PROCRIT may be stored in the refrigerator between doses for up to 21 days, and can be used for multiple doses. Follow your dialysis center's instructions on what to do with the used vials. A syringe with subcutaneous needle should be used.

What are insulin injections?

When given properly, they are relatively painless injections of supplemental insulin that need to be added to your bloodstream to maintain a safe and steady blood glucose (blood sugar) level. They are necessary because most or all of the insulin your pancreas produces is "destroyed" by your immune system when you have diabetes. ALWAYS use a new syringe for each injection for the obvious danger of infection, but a syringe is also the least painful (if at all) with its FIRST use. It's all downhill after that, like a new knife or razor blades.

Tapping a syringe causes any air bubbles to collect at the highest point in the syringe, and usually done when pointing it upwards. This makes removing air bubbles easier, which makes the syringe's use safer.


What syringe is used for a vein graft procedure when asked to draw up 0.3 ml of a drug?

Normally when working with injection medications, always go with the smallest syringe. If asked to withdraw 0.3 mL then use a 1mL syringe. If that isn't doable, then use the 3mL syringe. If asked to draw 4mL, use the 5 and so on. As far as a vein graft however, I believe a 3mL syringe will create higher peak pressure and velocity than that of a 10 or 20 mL syringe.
