Not quite. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable for a multi-draw vial, and the difference is the preservative.

Got a request for information and treated it as a seizure for two days before actually reading it. It was neither dramatic nor difficult.

Same lane, four orders, 16 to 6 days, all four within a couple of days of the quote. That consistency is the actual finding.

Median transit is the useful statistic. The minimum is a story about one shipment and the mean is dragged around by a single hold.

Correction: that gives 90 units, not what you have written. 5mg into 3mL is 1.67mg/mL and the division follows from there.

Australia and New Zealand have different regulators, different funding bodies and different arrangements. An answer for one is not evidence about the other.

The arithmetic in full: concentration is mass over volume, so 20mg into 3mL gives 6.67mg/mL. A U-100 syringe is graduated at 100 units per millilitre, so 1mg is 1 divided by 6.67 millilitres, which is 15 units.

Argued for a week about a result and then read the limitations section, which conceded most of my opponent’s point.

I would not treat one pharmacy’s quote as the national price. Variation between them is substantial.

This. Albumin binding and modification are why the half-life is what it is, and it is a design decision rather than an accident.

That is a pharmacy-level stock issue rather than a national supply issue. They feel identical and are not.

Different laboratories use different assay platforms with different calibration. Comparing across labs adds a systematic offset that is invisible on the report.

SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes, not weight

Same lane in a different season for comparison?

Spent an evening with the appendix tables and found the subgroup detail that the entire thread had been speculating about.

Adding the check nobody runs — the registered protocol is public and takes two minutes to compare.

Not convinced by four data points. That is not a lane yet, it is an anecdote with a route attached.

What is written on the vial right now?

Cosigning the round-number approach. Reconstituting to something awkward is how you end up drawing 27.5 units at six in the morning.
