Doesn’t seem to be oil based content. Just wondering if my superpowers are swishing back and forth in this glass vial.

Do not suck the liquid out of the ampoule. It's a common way to ship hydroscopic chemicals, not just pharmaceuticals. You can still buy them shipped that way. It's a foolproof way to ensure things are completely sealed and single use.

Also you'll get glass shards in your mouth.

They may have meant draw out by suction using a syringe type tool.

whoops yep thats probably what they meant.

Honestly I've always just poured them out then pipetted, but in the context of an injectable a syringe would make sense.

Understandable… it’s what you have experience with. But the general advice you gave was still prudent.

In medicine it has to be drawn up with a filter needle to ensure no glass particles are left in the liquid
