I just spilled $300 worth of medicine..ask me anything!
So trying to open my new medicine (which I paid $1266 for) was a struggle. It had one of those metal lids that's hard to get off. In the process of opening it..I spilled a whole dose out. I had enough to give myself the shot (which wasn't that bad) but still..That's one less of 4 shots. Oy. I can't win for losing.....:cry: :banghead:

2. Just dilute the rest with water. It works for the homeopaths.

3. I wouldn't recommend that...

It may work for some, but sometimes water can reduce the effectiveness of a drug. I would take the drus as directed and not play amateur pharmacist. I would contact your doctor and see if you could get a sample (my dad has done this innumerous times for patients that spill or lose drugs).

4. Nobody has samples of interferon I am afraid
Its a very pricey uncommon drug. I paid $1260 out of pocket today cause my insurance company is dragging its feet and I could not wait another month to start therapy.
Evoman is of course joking.

7. what you said!
interferon is hard enough to deal with without having to deal with losing some of it.

If it's any consolation, it sounds like something I would do.

11. Egads! That's terrible.
OTOH, don't think about Dan Snyder when you are taking your meds.
