From the label to the app
| What the label says | What PepLabo does with it |
|---|---|
| Reconstitute only with the diluent provided; one vial gives daily doses for 7 consecutive days [1]. | Enter the vial and the water once; each daily log lowers the vial level and the doses-left estimate. |
| Discard unused solution 7 days after mixing [1]. | Enter the use period from the leaflet; PepLabo counts it down from the reconstitution date and reminds you. |
| Rotate injection sites to different areas of the abdomen [1]. | The body map records each site, and the heat map shows how often each area was used. |
