Hey. I went through all the threads mentioning temgesic/filter/filler but still unclear about a couple of things. I'm pretty IV-naive but right now having some acute problems and need to stretch the little bupre I have left (.4 temgesic) as long as I can, even an extra week would mean a lot. I'm familiar with the risks but still this remains the lesser evil. It's a long story but it's an all in-situation. Best I can do is minimize the risk. I don't have micron filters, only some chemically cleaned cotton.
Is it the fillers building up in the body that is risky or do they have acute effects?
Does chemically cleaned cotton still have the bacteria that supposedly causes cotton fever?
Will a sterile cloth and antiseptic solution work as well as an alcohol wipe?
Pardon the paranoia, I don't much like it myself. Pretty sure it is temporary, can't really think straight atm. Filtering many times with cotton is the best I can do today. Local pharmacy hadn't heard of micron filters. If it's not worth it, I don't know what to do next. Thanks in advance.
