Is a 27G needle the right choice for drawing a GLP-1 receptor agonist at 4 mg/mL?

Asked 3 May 2024Modified 2.2 years agoViewed 37k times

Stated plainly: a 27G needle · a GLP-1 receptor agonist · 4 mg/mL.

I suspect the honest answer is that it depends, in which case I would like to know on what.

Assume I can obtain either option without difficulty, so availability is not the deciding factor.

Under what conditions does the answer flip?
