Still sterile or toss it?
How Many Times Can You Reuse a Vial?
-
As long as youβre sterile and store it right, multi-use vials are made to be reused. Just always wipe the top with alcohol first.
-
The rubber stopper can handle multiple pokes, but donβt go crazy. After 10β15 uses it starts to lose integrity.
-
I use separate sterile needles every single time. Never reuse pins thatβs how you end up with infections.
-
Store it in a cool, dark place. Keep the vial clean and capped, and it should last till itβs empty.
-
If itβs a legit multi-dose vial with benzyl alcohol in it, itβs good for weeks. Just practice clean technique.
-
Donβt pull air in with a dirty pin or touch the stopper with your fingers. Thatβs how bacteria sneak in.
-
Once you notice cloudy oil, particles, or weird smell
toss it. Not worth the risk -
Some guys switch to preloading syringes once the vial gets low to avoid constant stopper punctures. Works great if done sterile.
