I have 30G 1mL 5/16" that I use for 2x a week injections (100mg), but thinking about trying EOD or even daily.
Are there syringes out there that make it easier to measure such small doses?
Any help would be appreciated~
Not much smaller than that. They make 31 gauge, but I doubt you would notice the difference.
I believe you are asking if they make syringes smaller than 1mL? I guess why do you need something smaller? If you’re injecting ED at 28.57mg (200/7) its either .28ml (100mg per 1mL) or .14ml (200mg per 1mL) and thats pretty easy on the 1mL syringe.
They do sell 1/2mL/cc syringes just not sure you need one:
I have some Hamilton syringes ranging in size from 0.025mL to 0.1 mL. I wouldn’t recommend them as they are fairly expensive (I think around $50-$100 each), and too small. I got them when the RND lab at my last job threw them away.
0.5 mL is the smallest I’ve seen in an economy syringe.

If you’re going to do EOD or ED, I’d try using insulin syringes and doing subQ injections.
Thanks, yeah I already do subq. I see that they make 1/2 mL now, thank you.
I know it’s possible to use the 1mL syringes I have, but I thought it’d be nice to make it more accurate. There is always a little bubble I can’t ever seem to get out, which doesn’t help.
cool, thanks. I figure if I need to buy more syringes, I might as well buy some that suit me better
I always seem to have the bubble as well. I just don’t worry about it. I figure if it happens every time is is about the same amount. I don’t worry about being exactly precise. I take 150mg per week split into 3 50mg doses. If it actually turns out to be 145 or 155 I am not too worried about it.
Oil is not meant to be injected sub q just like suspension is not meant to be injected IM.
