I would ask him to only make two weeks at a time but if your dose is lower he may already be using that 50mg pill. He could always cut it in half and do 25ml at a time. I did that for the first few months until I decided to see if the 50 would last. It did.
Oh and I can sympathize Cherie, I've got an infection right now and it's not pretty either. Talk about pain... *sigh*

He is not using the 50 mg pill to make my compound, he is using the PURE Naltrexone powder, without fillers. I am sensitive to several meds AND fillers, so we went with the straight drug compounded in distilled water w/ flavoring.
I am good till the end of the third week, and the "expiry date" on the bottle actually lists the date that is 21 days after I've filled it. It is my own fault that I sometimes use the fourth week, but that has saved me a lot of times too. I am a major procrastinator, so the fourth weeks is left there as a back-up for my incompetance.
It still works, just not as well.
Hope you are getting antibiotics for your infection. Infection is BAD
(at least for me).
Cherie
