Title: OMG....Empty Imitrex Vial???
Post by Jayne on Dec 7^th, 2003, 11:15pm

Has this ever happened to any one??
I took a vial out to do the usual deal...and it looked "wierd" so I didn't put it in my arm. I slowly pushed it with the queu tip...nothing but AIR.....Surely if I was a meigrainer and used the pen, could that have done some damage?
I'm gob smacked..

Never seen that. I have had a few that seemed like there was a larger air pocket than normal, but never empty. I think I would have screamed if it where a KIP10 and empty bottle. That sounds pretty scary if you would have injected yourself.

Never heard of opening an empty vial of Imitrex. I'd be pissed. And I always push out any extra air that is in the needle.

RJ, do you actually use that injector? I saw it when UE first posted it. Still wondering if anyone bought it and is using it... how well it works.

Patrick is right. I understand that if you would've put it in a vein, it would've been extremely dangerous.
