For those using needles ...

I was wondering what kind / size of needles you use with the Imitrex injection vials.
"B-D 1CC Tuberculin Syringe Slip Tip"
B-D 1ml 27g1/2 (0.4mm x 13mm)
Are these what you use ?

I use DHE to abort instead of Imitrex, but I think in either case it is an IM injection. I use BD 26g, 1" needles.......I've used 5/8" insulin needles when that was all I could get and sometimes the shot seemed ineffective, I think because the needle wasn't getting into the muscle, only under the skin and fat layer where it is absorbed slowly. I also use 3 ml syringes even though the DHE dose is only 1 ml as it is easier to draw the fluid out of the vial and easier to get the air bubbles out with a larger syringe.

I'm not familiar with DHE - Imitrex girll, myself. However, Imitrex is not meant to be injected IM - only SQ. shorter needles are best.

Thanks all. I have both DHE 1mg vials & needles and Imitrex injection vials & needles. Kris is right, Imitrex is only meant to be subQ while DHE is an IM injection.
Thanks again,
