this is what it says online: A 2‑inch red, swollen, tender area after a tripeptide shot can be a normal but relatively large local reaction, especially if it resolves within 1–3 days and has no other symptoms. However, because it’s at the upper size limit for typical reactions, it’s best to monitor it closely and seek medical advice if it worsens, spreads, or shows signs of infection. It does say this also so maybe you should start doing it in your abs: Abdomen — the most reliable for consistent absorption and easiest for self‑injection. Stay ≥2 inches from the belly button. Hope this helps!

Hi! The solution should be stored in the fridge as soon as you get it. Once it is opened you should throw it away after 30 days and keep it in the fridge.

Hi Julia! I just asked my daughter who is a pharmacist and I was wrong. You don't need to put water solution in fridge but it is only good for 30 days after opening. Once it is mixed though you do need to store in fridge. Hope this helps.

You should be going up in dosage every 2 to 4 weeks. After 2.5 it goes up to 5 then, 7.5, 10, and then I think 12.5 and then 15. If you are feeling good on 2.5 without any bad symptoms I would bump up to 5 and then after 2 weeks if feeling good bump up to next and so on. This week help use the 30mg bottle up faster.
