60mg Reta ok with 2ml bac water?

Here's what one block for KPV looks like...

My two cents: Don't mix units and orders of magnitude in the same column (especially if you write "mcg" instead of "μg"). That’s how we end up with spinach in the canteen to make us as strong as Popeye

How many Mg's are you taking to use 60 Mg's in a timely manner for 1 person?

Oh only 8 for now. But if the vial goes beyond a month and a half ill just toss it.
Maybe even toss it sooner.

Have so much reta that tossing a partial vial is nbd. Considered using a 30mg vial or splitting the 60 even between 2, but meh the 60 is fine.

The days when I paid fifty410 300 bines for 10mg of tirz are farrrrrrrr behind me.

You're overcomplicating the calculation.

You're in trouble now.

 

[BNLFL]

60mg/30ml=20mg/ml
8mg/20mg/ml=0.4mL

The math doesn’t seem easier or harder than using 2ml. .4ml is a round number but it won’t fit in my most common .3ml syringe.

2.25ml into a 60mg vial would make the 8mg dose an even .3ml.

I label the vials with the concentration, but I could put the typical dose info on the label as well.

That 2.25ml would max out the .3ml syringe at .3ml/30units, Correct? Be patient, I'm learning two ways to measure. lol

You're overcomplicating the calculation.

In a little over three months of working with gray peptides, this is the first time I've calculated a concentration, and only to contribute to this thread. It's not that I don't know how to do it; I learned it when I was 13, launching powder rockets from the backyard (and, additionally, during my three master's degrees in biochemistry and genetics).

We only need to know the concentration in a few situations: to measure the concentration of something else, or when preparing a stock solution intended for further dilution. There might be one or two others, but I don't remember (oh yes, measuring clearance or volume).

Your calculations are correct, but they require knowledge from middle school. I'm lazier, so I only use calculations from elementary school.

For example, I want 4 doses from my vial, so that’s a total volume of 4 times the volume I want to inject each time.
I got 0.6 ml with the Mounjaro KwikPen: never again! So I’m sticking to 10U to 40U per injection.

The way I calculate either direction is the most precise, versatile, and mathematically pure method I can think of while not being superfluous in any way.

I take 9mg of Reta per dose. I have 10, 20, 30, 60, and 140mg vials of Reta. I take .125mg of Sema and have 5mg vials, the vials get discarded before they’re empty. That’s 2 of 22 injectables I have that require calculations drawing from 31 unique combinations of injectable/vial mass.

Showing the method of the answer on an online forum where people are learning is decidedly more rigorous than doing math in your head.

That 2.25ml would max out the .3ml syringe at .3ml/30units, Correct? Be patient, I'm learning two ways to measure. lol

Correct. My 30mg/ml Reta concentration makes a .3ml volume for my 9mg dose… the same 9mg y’all take, I just take one every 3.5 days😂.

…When your doing 15 pins your like, holly shit I’m a walking bottle of BAC Water.

My largest SQ injection is 2ml, weekly… I expected to feel some kinda way about it but it’s nothing special aside from the goofy syringe.

 

[tcpnomad]

Any way you could share the chart? That would be really great.

Bill

You don't need a chart. Just use a reverse calculator. It's just high school math, but there are several online.

You put in vial mass, your dose and the number of units you want to inject, and it spits out the ml you should be reconstituting with.

It is. It's just not the shortest route for what we're doing.

I’ve got great apps for diluting. I have diluting down. I’m currently taking six different peps and the MLs are all over the place. Having a chart would be awesome. For me at least. I can do basic math. But when it is pin time I turn into the Incredible Hulk. Things get wild. It’s nice to just pull the water and pin. I hate having to calculate during my pinning parties.

haha - use the calculator to make your own little chart then.

Are the mLs all over the place because you're not using a reverse calculator? Because it's probably entirely possible for you to do 25mL for everything, regardless of dose.

I’m currently just adding in the notes on my pinning app the Us and dose for next pin. It’s fantastic. I could make a thread on this as well. Side bar comment. The other night during my wife and our pinning parties I almost used a needle that I already used before giving a dose to my wife. It really freaked me out how careless I could be. So our new setup is when pinning we pull the plunger out immediately after the pin. Needle goes in the used bottle with plunger out. Again. That was scary and horrific all at once. Not sure if anyone else has done that with multiple people doing multiple pins. But this is our new procedure.

After 3 months, I’m starting to figure that out. The main reason I have fucked up all the different MLs is because of vial sizes. But now I have proper vials and I filter everything. I’m really trying to do a 2:1 dilute now.

You could just leave the needle stuck in the person till the round is done, and then go around and pull them all out into a SHARPS container in the "collection" phase of the party. Easy peasy. 😉

I hope this was humor. You always make me laugh. But I do like suggesting this to my wife to see the face I get.

Seriously though, @indolent had a great idea.

Because it's probably entirely possible for you to do [the same number of units] for everything, regardless of dose.

Just use the reverse calculator to pick a concentration for each reconstituted peptide that results in the same number of units for each.

And if there is more than one person drawing different doses from the same vial - each person will have their own number of units, but that number will be the same for all the peptides they take.

Easier to deal with at shot time. Just need to make that chart for reconstitution time.

I personally dislike the reverse calculator.

 

[Skidude]

I personally dislike the reverse calculator.

I just figure out how many doses are in a vial and than figure out how much bac to add-
4 doses in vial=
divide the bac by doses 1ml bac = 4 doses .25 or 2ml bac = 4 doses .50
to each their own

EDIT
I should add that is it is a fracture, I just use the leftovers and double pin..thankfully that is rare on my use.

Any reasons you can articulate? Or is it just nameless, blind hatred?

I just like a normal recon calculator, no other reason. Not much different than disliking a certain type of soda.
