When using a glass top vial, as long as I disinfect the vial first, am I safe to use the same needle to withdraw the oil and to inject?
The inside of the vial has to be sterile doesn't it? Afterall thats what your injecting.

im confused. if ur askin if u can use the same needle twice then no just buy some more. maybe im not readin it right but i cant understand what ur askin really.
Can I withdraw the oil and then inject straight away?
Or do I need to put a new needle on?
its not necassary to change needles. some people do a larger gauge needle just to withraw easier, then change to a smaller one to make it easier to inject. but u dont have to .
Good. Its only infection issues I am concerned about.
make sure u keep everything sterile, with alcohol swabs and u should be good
if ur that concerned .. then just change needles i've always done it and never had an infection and besides the needle will get a little dull and can hurt a little more.
Dont see why u shouldnt change needle, they are very cheap aswell..
most change the needle cause when drawing, the needle dulls from penetrating the rubber cap. You want as sharp a needle as possible when injecting.
if u are talking about a vial.. as in with a stopper, than i wld switch to a new needle... if u are talking about an ampule than u can get away with the same needle as long as u don't go banging it around on the bottom of the amp.... jmo
