Title: from pills to injectables?
Post by Judo_Tom on Oct 9^th, 2004, 2:25pm

im wondering if there is any reason why people couldnt take imitrex pills which are 100mg and turn them into a sterile injectable liquid? or even a nasal spray?

does anyone know what fillers are used in the pill?

this could save people a lot of money and suffering

i was wondering if the pills could be crushed then put in a solution, filtered and then add some benzyl alcohol?

1 pill could stop like 30 attacks assuming no product is lost??? and the materials needed to do this assuming it would work would be very cheap as well

any ideas?

i believe this is a list of the fillers used:

Each tablet also contains the inactive ingredients croscarmellose sodium, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and titanium dioxide dye

these might not be the best things to inject and i would not be sure how to remove them..

the idea still intrigues me so i will do some more research

Hi, i dont think that can ever work, not without a specialized lab.

The empirical formula is C14H21N3O2SC4H6O4, representing a molecular weight of 413.5.
Sumatriptan succinate is a white to off-white powder that is readily soluble in water and in
saline. Each IMITREX Tablet for oral administration contains 35, 70, or 140 mg of sumatriptan
succinate equivalent to 25, 50, or 100 mg of sumatriptan, respectively. Each tablet also contains
the inactive ingredients croscarmellose sodium, dibasic calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate,
microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium bicarbonate. Each 100-mg tablet also contains
hypromellose, iron oxide, titanium dioxide, and triacetin.

To much to filter out.

Why bother? [smiley=huh.gif] The shots are made, they work. Making them from pills sounds too much like work. Plus, I really don't feel like spending my free non-cycle time concocting ways to get through the next cycle. I just call up the pharm and order more shots to stockpile for the next time. Easier to pick up the phone then start a lab in the basement. Do that and the next thing you know, the cops will be at your door thinking your making meth down there...

To clear something up...or at least how I read it...I meant that Trex comes in shots, it's been done, why bother trying to create them from tabs...it's like re-inventing the wheel...
