I remember reading how someone got more than one use out of each vial. Any suggestions? And where do you buy it? Tried Amazon, but only business accounts can order.

Hi there, so you can get it on Medical Monks or Vitality Medical. And no, you cannot use it more than once.

I used to use it often, and you can only use it once. The tip dries up, and there really isn't a lot in a little vial. I got it from my ostomy supplier here in Canada. It's amazing stuff.

Thanks for that tip on where to buy Marathon. My company, where I get my supplies, stopped carrying Marathon, and I have been looking all over for it. I don't use it unless my skin is broken out; otherwise, I just use a regular skin prep wipe. But I have one Marathon left from when they did carry it. So I appreciate knowing where to get more if/when I need it.

Of course... I hate when they stop carrying things that we need.
