[Ho...] Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi i try to make long things short, also english is not my native language, but i‘ll try my best to explain my situation. I got prescribed a liquid Diazepam solution. It has the following ingredients: - Diazepam 10 mg/ml - Propylenglygcol - Macrogol 400 (PEG) - Distilled Water The amount per drop is 0.5 mg Diazepam. My question is: Do I have to add vodka or ethanol if I want to dilute the existing solution to take smaller steps for the micro tapering method? If yes, how much? I ask because often times i read that there may be some ‚fallout‘, if i just add it to water. My goal is to reduce 10% every 6 weeks, so that’s why i need to dilute the existing solution. I hope someone can help me out. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pa...] Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hello HorrorSh0w, You have explained your situation well — your English is very good! The concentration of your solution (10mg/1mL) is much higher than the commercially available oral solutions of diazepam here in the U.S. (i.e., 1mg/1mL and 5mg/1mL). Some members have suggested it is safe to further dilute at least the 1mg/1mL diazepam solution by adding water. However, I am not sure this would apply to your more highly concentrated solution. Do you know or could you find a pharmacist (apothecary) you could ask about this? Or, would you feel comfortable contacting the manufacturer?
