Set BAC water for a clean syringe draw 2.5 mL is the default: If the KLOW vial is 5+ mL in size rather than the standard 3 mL size, double the BAC water amount to 5 mL and syringe units for easier, more accurate dosing
Alternate Sites: If rotating injection sites to prevent lipohypertrophy (tissue buildup), you may also use the outer thigh or upper arm fatty tissue
Document daily dose and site rotation to maintain consistency
Pull air into the syringe equal to the chosen water volume, inject that air into the BAC water vial, invert the vial, and slowly draw the exact volume
