I'll try your method and let you know if it works for me as well.
By the way, I'm sure you all have experienced some degree of difficulty in getting every drop of Fuzeon solution out of the vial. Well, I found that by pressurizing the vial a little more than the instructions indicate, you can easily get every last drop of the precious stuff. Specifically, here's what I do: after the powder is completely dissolved, I inject about 3 ml of air into the vial with the 1 cc syringe (which means I insert the needle into the rubber cap three times). Of course, you are careful not to depress the plunger all the way. Otherwise, you'd have to use a new syringe. Anyhow, I found this to be helpful in making sure I don't waste any of this outrageously expensive drug.
Sincerely,
Chris

I used to have a reaction every other day using the 45 degree angle. No one can really explain why. Has anyone tried this?Nelson Vergel
