Understanding Why Your Medication Vial May Appear Underfilled
Many patients notice extra space in their vial when they open it for the first time and wonder if there’s enough medication. Rest assured — this is completely normal. Here’s why it happens and how your supply is calculated.
Why the vial looks less full
Pharmacies adjust the concentration so you always draw the same easy volume each week (e.g., 0.25 mL or 0.5 mL), even as your mg dose increases. Higher doses = stronger concentration = same total liquid volume.
The vial itself is often larger than needed (our standard multi-dose vial holds up to 2 mL), creating visible empty space even when it contains the correct amount.
Does it last a full month?
Yes — each vial is precisely filled for four weekly injections at your prescribed volume, plus a small buffer. Focus on the units you draw with the syringe, not how much liquid is visible.
Maintenance vs titration plans
If you chose a Maintenance Plan, all vials stay at your goal dose (e.g., 15 mg) with no increases. Titration plans step the mg dose up over time while keeping the injection volume consistent.
