Efficacy loss after reconstituting

[0bserver]

I started with an rt20. After about a month I felt a stall. Before I reorder a couple questions.

How long after reconstituting does reta start losing efficacy?

Is it worth switching to rt10's even with the increased cost per dose?

More information is needed.
What was your starting dose?
Are you still at the same dose?
How long have you been on it?

Where are they all coming from? It'll last 8 weeks easy in the fridge, and I personally would go to 10 weeks. How do you know it was a stall? What @CandyCap said is important needed along with the BAC amount when reconstituted. Why go smaller?

Looking back at some of your others posts, looks like you reconned 20mg with 2.5ml bac (8mg/ml) and drawing 30iu. That means you are getting about 8 shots per vial (2.4mg/dose). You were on your 3rd week on May 28, so 6th week now. Is that all accurate?

Assuming so, people generally evaluate dose increases after 4 weeks or so at one dose. If you aren't getting results and you need to increase, you could try jumping to either 3 or 4mg. Staying with R20 and recon with 1ml of bac to get a concentration of 20mg/ml or 2mg/10iu. Then you could run 15iu for 3mg or 20iu for 4mg. At a 4mg dose (because it maths better), that's 5 doses per bottle. Assuming you are running that once a week, that's 35 days which is fine for a bottle of reta. You could also recon with 2ml if you wanted and would just increase the ius to 30/40 for 3/4mg. Doesn't change the doses per vial.

Long way of saying that R20 is fine, lol.

Awesome explanation!
I only use my Reta for a max of 6 weeks, I keep it in the fridge. Do not keep warming it up and cool it down.

Why 6 weeks only?

why did the first reta lose 44% at day 90 and the others seem pretty close together?

No clue, I look at the over results not just the one.

My reconstitution abd dosing instructions were.

Retatrutide = Reconstitue 20mg powder + 2.5ml water = Once a week injection

Started with 10 units in an insulin syringe . Titrating up 5 units once a week. currently at 40 units.

This would make a great sticky at the top of the forum

If you are having questions about dosing, I would recommend understanding how to use the above information to calculate your mg per dose. Units on a syringe are not standardized measurements of dosages in this context. It makes having the conversation easier when we all use the same vocabulary.
