How does bronchiectasis progress?

I just received 3% saline from Kaiser. This will be my first time using it. After getting the box home I realized they sent me a box of fifty vial - each vial contained 15ml. My Rx says to use 4 ml twice a day.
I called the pharmacist, asking what to do. He said I had to throw the unused portion away. He checked with Kaiser to ask why they sent such big vials. He said it was because there is a shortage and this was a way to get the product to me. I paid $30 for something , half or more of which will be tossed away. Is it me, or is this a bit weird?

That happened to me once and NP suggested using it up over 2 days. She said keep it upright and the top covered with plastic wrap and that it should be fine. I also do this with an albuterol ampule because one whole vial makes me too shaky. I am comfortable doing this but you may not be.
