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.

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.

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.
