the label and the manufacturer of my een say not to expose it to light. what happens if it is? last week i did my injection, but forgot about the warning and was holding it up near my bathroom light while i drew the needle. is it still safe/effective? tonight’s my next shot, probably should have asked sooner :P

edit: only realized my mistake after finishing the injection and noticing the label had turned red

edit 2: pic of the label bein red

edit 3: got a pretty quick reply from the manufacturer. label turning red/black is normal actually, from heat/moisture, which makes sense. also according to the manufacturer, the e is slightly pink: normal for mct oil when exposed to light, but as long as it doesn’t get worse it should be fine.

    um pretty sure! unless my hands stained it lol. i think maybe they made the label reactive to light so you know when it went bad? i honestly don’t know. gonna have to contact the manufacturer but that’s gonna take weeks for a reply :(

      Did you get rubbing alcohol on it? Ive seen reactions to labels with similar splotchy-ness from rubbing alcohol, but not the color: the color could just be something from the label maker used for it.

          Sounds about right for thermal print labels to me. Label printers are their own special subset of demons from normal printers; much more evil and janky.
