Doctor will call in Rx for Glut and Lidocaine.
I'll have to self inject IM.
The pharmacy I selected has Lidocaine 1%. Does that sound right?
Glut comes in 100 mg and 200 mg strength.
Which would mean 1cc vs .5 cc.
Would you think injecting half a cc less would make the injection less painful?
The last Glut/ATP/Lido IM injection - the muscle hurt for days. 1cc with 22g 1".
Thanks any thoughts.

I use 0.5ml of lidocaine with my Magnesium Sulfate.
Yes, the lidocaine percentage sounds right.
Two things I do to help with the pain is make sure it is injected in the correct muscle. If it is more than 1 ml of fluid in needs to go into the gluteus muscle, not the arm or the thigh.
After the injection, walk around. I also put a heating pad on the area to help start the absorption.

Ouch ouch on that! May I suggest...
Why not get your glutathione in a compounded cream base so you don't have to inject it?
I understand the cost is about $60.00- $120.00 for a one to two month supply- depending on how often you use it.
Totally painless, doesn't smell bad, just rub it on your skin in doses set forth by your doctor.
Not promoting this one place, a lot of places can compound it, but this might get you started.

I just did my first nebulized glutathione. It is sort of weird but quick and not painful. My script right now is for twice a week. The machine was $50 at compounding pharmacist.
We have tried oral tabs, liposomal, and transdermal.
We do other shots with lidocaine.
