Lidocaine

[HereToTeachAndLearn]

I recently made some Reduced Glutathione @ 200mg/ml and I was surprised at how much the IM injections hurt. I ensured the ph was around 8-8.5, so I am positive it is not related to that.

I am considering adding about 50mg/ml of lidocaine to it, about 5%, to help with the discomfort, since I am having to inject 5x’s per week.

Has anyone ever been successful doing this?

I also brewed L Carnatine and found the same pain when injected. I have held up on continuing with L Carnatine until I figure out a solution, since the ph was also about 8-8.5.

One painful injection per day is enough for me.

Any thoughts?

Where is that fucking Narta when you need him? : (

I was told the ph is the key to making the Lcarn painless .. my source has it 900mg/ml and its damn near painless at 1.5ml 2x a day. I would say the ph is key.
You can add lidocaine.. I habe alot of injectable lidocaine and I did a blend in the past.. it kinda worked but the lidocaine is short lived

5% lidocaine? The stuff the use to give sutures is 1% I'm pretty sure. And usually those injections hurt more than the sutures would without the lidocaine.

I'm curious to how this goes! Let us know

I mentioned 5% because I believe I read that CCUSA used 50mg/ml in some mixes he made.

I know the pip is not due to the ph, so I am somewhat at a loss.

That is way overkill on the lidocaine for intramuscular use, 1-2% is injection, 4% is used for topical.

Update: I sourced 2% Lidocaine vails and started adding 0.10ml of 2% lidocaine solution to 0.90ml (180mg) reduced Glutathione and I no longer am getting any PIP.

No PIP whatsoever!!

It turned out to be an easy solution. I will try the same thing with L Carnatine and update sometime next week.
