From the sources to the app
| What the sources say | What PepLabo does with it |
|---|---|
| There is no approved label, so no official amount, schedule or storage rule exists [1]. | PepLabo pre-fills nothing: the calculator has no default amount, and the use period after mixing stays empty until you enter it. |
| The FDA is concerned about impurities in injectable and nasal products [1]. | Lot and expiry fields keep each vial distinct, and a label scan fills in the text from the vial. |
| Human safety data are very limited [1][2]. | Check-ins record symptoms with a severity and can be linked to a dose from the previous 72 hours; an export or a PDF report (Pro) helps you show them to a clinician. |
