N taste

[Goaway]

I am trying to minimize the chances of vomiting when taking N. If it is very very cold, would that minimize the bad taste ?

I recommend using the search feature as there are many threads regarding the taste of N.

Hello @Goaway. I'm sorry you're contemplating this. believe I read here that it loses potency at low temperatures but let me look it up before you take my word for it.

Update: I was wrong about that part, sorry folks!

Meanwhile, though, it's not the taste that causes vomiting. Our bodies vomit when we poison ourselves.

It's actually recommended to store it at low temperatures.

I would probably drink it at room temperature, but that's just because I would find it difficult to quickly drink a large amount of cold liquid.

Yes it would be.....I am not totally sure, I only did a couple of tests in a room temp; but maybe if N was taken cold would be a little more pleasant, especially when you have swallowed it............something like If could to "dilate" the throat.........It's just a theory......There is nothing scientific....................a rambling myself.

That's correct — I was wrong about the temperature thing. Apologies!

There are some ideas here :

Some precision. Vet N contains a few excipients. Propylene Glycol is one. To be expected with PG is an anti-freeze effect, plus its liquid viscosity increases with a decrease of temperature.
Outside of taste, if concerned by texture and density, you may get a less aqueous solution nearer to 0 degrees Celsius than at room temperature. That's my own hypothesis anyway

PG is added to avoid crystallisation, it is very common using powders to orals solution. There is one liquid vet brand,.......I think canadian brand, Euthasol, I think,..................... without PG.

Outside of taste there is nothing, it is so heavy, could be happened by intravenous solution water, guess that should be some kind of sodium solution, super super salty...................texture and density should not be reason to be concerned.

If you were able to get N, you're going to have an infinitely easier time getting an antiemetic. Get that to not puke.

@calendulo Got concerned it would not feel like water because I read the content of PG in Pisabental could be up to 40%, a lot

PG is known to be a viscous liquid.

Thank you all for the information. Very helpful.

I understand your concerned, respectfully of course, about viscosity; but if you taste it........guess you will change your mind, although viscosity is another issue to keep in mind.

About one or two bottle... that is a eternal debate; I wonder that more amount will be always better.

I have no idea why, but the IV method of using N is barely explored. It seems perfectly viable, and more suitable to inject a solution meant for injection than to drink it.

Still holding out for an answer.

Because it is impossible to inject that amount yourself,150 ml as minimun.
On a intravenous way, if you are using a 10ml syringe, a regular size,........you would need fifteen pricks; or doing easier, if you would take only 100 ml, it would need ten.
How many time will need between each prick?. I do not know, but it could be too much time and it is too too risky.

And then, you could buy a gadget like the injectomat and let it do the job itself, but to do that like a manual procedure is impossible.
I agree with you about what is better, of course injecting it.
You already have one idea.
