This is what the PDS says; sucrose, glycerol,
Propyl hydroxybenzoate and methyl hydroxybenzoate
I’m still chicken shit to do it but but but I have been banging oxy tablets with cotton wool and nothing ever happened with my veins ever - so I’m wondering if a micron filter might help ?
The sucrose is no issue. It's a non-toxic sweetener which is used alongside the Glycerol, another sweetener and your maim liquid.
Glycerol is sometimes used intravenously for a few different reasons. Here is an explanation.
There was one other site which said it has potential to cause damage to red blood cells. I've lost the link now. Overall, it seems to have a fairly safe profile in IV applications. I wouldn't worry about this too much personally.
I'll explain more about the Glycerol after I get a start on your 'parabens'..
The propyl and hydroxy benzoate, or propyl- and hydroxy
parabens are also both deemed to be nontoxic. They are used as preservatives and antimicrobials. So, in this oral solution of hydromorphone, they would be there to keep the medication from deteriorating. I found nothing that says they're a danger in intravenous applications. They're overall nontoxic to humans, and animals. This is the
same as your glycerol and sucrose. Pretty safe.
Glycerol I'm assuming is higher up on the list of ingredients. It would be the main liquid which is holding your hydromorphone in stasis.
Glycerine is the brand name is glycerol, and
is used for formulations where the solution or 95% or less glycerol. This should give you a hint as to the ratio of substance here.
You're syrup has over 95% glycerol.
Glycerol is used as a sweetener for it's sweet taste, and it's also an humectant. This means it's hydrophilic, or it absorbs water. You know that sort of almost slimy-ish, coats your mouth and throat texture you get when you drink the syrup? That's what I mean.
It's very good liquid for making an opioid based cough syrup for the following reasons..
The first and main reason glycerol would be used for these syrups over another is because it has a good feel for soothing your throat as an humectant. This is good if you're using it as cough syrup in particular. Second, it's also good for preventing constipation from the opioids. It has those humectant, hydrophilic properties so that it will draw water to itself. With this in action, when it hits your intestines, and this the stool in your digestive tract - it will keep things running smooth. Opioids tend to have the opposite effect on people so glycerol is a good countermeasure for this in an opioid cough syrup.
Nothing here is toxic or bad for you. The safety profile on all of these substances IV is pretty good.
I'm not sure I'd even use a filter. Just straight in the bottle is what I'd do personally. The parabens are antimicrobial as is and messing around with filters and stuff would actually increase the likelihood of bacteria in my mind. If you filter, have perfectly clean washed hands and the filter and your reservoir like the spoon you're using STERILE.
Don't put your mouth to the bottle,
ever. If you use it any other way than IV, pour it out into something else.
Maybe invest in a 3cc syringe. 1cc syringes will yield 1mg max. That's probably not as much of a jag as your looking for.
A 2-3mg shot IV given your experience level will be safe and a better time and less needle pokes.
Just keeping it real guys. The research I did pans out. This stuff is pretty safe to IV. Way better than pills to be sure.
Of course, for harm reduction purposes be sure to start with a small amount as a tester. This is to be sure you don't have any reactions. If you've been smashing pills and stuff though, I can assure you again that this stuff is a lot safer than crushed pills.
