Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I just started my injections,1 teatment down 100,000,000 to go. I am wondering about the dosage. I'm 338lbs and I thought the nurse said 3cc in each arm,I know it was 3 viles. Does that sound right? The vile is made up when I arrive and it takes 30 to reconstitute. The first time I have to wait 20 min. after. I was told next time I can leave right after I get the injection. One the way out of the hospital I did get a little light headed and a short head-ake. Sounds like these are normal side effects. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi Nina, A subcutaneous (under all layers of skin into fatty tissue) shot should be no more than 3cc. The amount 3cc is like saying a little more than 1/2 tsp. The tissue objects to more than that. So, it is probable that you get 3cc in each arm which is 450 mg dose. Welcome to the group!
