Is that accurate?
Sorry, it's 0.5 ML & 0.75 ML
The reason for the variance is that the doctor and I agreed on 0.75 ML and he mistakenly wrote it for 0.5 ML. I caught it and this was his compromise (he plays games with the prescription every time he writes it). It's very annoying. If he'd write it for 1 ML like I've been using for years, the pharmacy would fill it with a 10 ML vial. Because of the cutback, they filled it with 1 Ml vials which is going to be a pain. Insurance won't pay for more than 12 weeks at each fill. Luckily I have a couple of 10 ML vials left from when he made a mistake and wrote it for a monthly refill.
My hematocrit is at the top of the normal range, which is up a couple of points from the previous year. This is why the doctor adjusted my prescription downward. Apparently, when your hematocrit is too high, it puts you at greater risk of a stroke.
