[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1089093, member: 30007"] If you consider that the method for using insulin from a 10ml phial is to inject the same amount of air into the phial as you will withdraw insulin, every time you do this, you are injecting bacteria into the phial. As all injectable insulins are made with this delivery mechanism in mind, would you prefer to inject a sterile insulin or a non-sterile insulin containing who knows what bacterial cultures? That's effectively what the Phenol and Cresol prevents. [/QUOTE]
