    The numbers vary really. My grad school always preached 2ml at any one time. I couldn't imagine doing 2ml subq though so I have always disagreed. Then you have others who say not to go over .5-.6ml. I would tend to agree with the lower end of that. Every time I get over half a ml I always get an uncomfortable lump. It can be done, just not as trouble free.

    0.6ml is the max I would inject subQ. Less than that with oil bases.
