Hello, newbie here from USA .Wonderful success with peptides, need to learn how to keep it going and make my own.

[CacaoPower]

So far so good with the Tirzepatide here. I am at starting dose. I have bought my own tirz that needs to be reconstituted but I’m not entirely sure on the correct measurements. The first one I got was like a kit, all measured out I just needed to mix the Bac water with the tirz.
No I have 20 vials of t10mg. But I’m not sure how much water to put in them. And how much to draw up on the syringe.
So far I’m still at starting dose. And it’s effecting so I want to stay there until it isn’t.

I take 12.5 units from a 60mg bottle now. But it’ll be out soon.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

For the sake of easy math - I like to add 1ml of bacteriostatic water to 10mg vials, so each mg is .1ml or 10 units on an insulin syringe. If you're on a 2.5mg dose, that would be .25ml or 25 units. You would have four of those per vial. (1ml / 4 = 0.25 mL & 10mg / 4 = 2.5 mg)

Or, if you wanted to match the concentration of your current product, you could add .5ml of bacteriostatic water to your 10mg vial. (.5ml / 4 = 0.125 mL or 12.5 units & 10mg / 4 = 2.5 mg)

At higher doses, you may want to re-evaluate so as to have less fluid to inject; you likely wouldn't want to inject 150 units -- one and a half syringes full -- for a 15mg dose. There's no right or wrong answer here, as long as the puck is fully dissolved, just make sure to always double check your math so that you're getting the intended dosage in mg, regardless of what concentration you choose.

Thank you so much. I think I will definitely stick to the easy math right for now. At least while I still very new to this.

This is your quick run down. It's not perfect but it also shouldn't get you killed. Hopefully. I take no responsibility for your injecting things unintended for human use. Do this at your own risk. I just wanted to make something I can link people to now that compounding is leaving and there's going to be a ton of people with basic questions. I'm stupid, you probably shouldn't listen to me at all, but hey, here you are, you're clearly a risk taker. We like to argue here, so I'm fully expecting someone to reply with every little thing I've gotten wrong within ten minutes of hitting post...

Some links to help. Always double check the answers a calculator gives you make sense!

It's just arithmetic, but it can be very confusing since there are so many different units in use.

For example we usually discuss our dosage in milligrams (mg) but the calculators always seem to ask for a dose in micrograms (mcg). We talk about adding milliliters (mL) of bac water to the vials, but the syringes are marked in units.

I actually recommend spending the time to make your own calculator in a spreadsheet, like Google Sheets. You can customize it to exactly the products you are working with, and lay it out so it makes sense to you. If you do this, you will be sure to learn the material, and you will have a super easy to use reference that will help prevent mistakes down the road.

For example, here is a reconstitution/dosing table I made while I was trying to figure out how to reconstitute and what kind of syringes to get. "Vial amt" is how much product is in the vial. "Vial Max" is how much bac water I add (with 3 mL vials, the valid range is about 1.0 - 2.5 mL). The blue cells do the calculations for the various dosages. It's then trivial to run new scenarios. (You can guess from the dose amounts that this is for semaglutide.)

You're using ¼ of a vial for each 2.5mg dose. So ¼ of however much bac you put in.
If you put in 1ml (100 units) then you'd dose 25 units (one fourth).

Simple equation:
(mg dose you want) / (mg in the vial initially) * (units of water added) = (units of water per dose)

Try it with these:
10mg vial, 2.5mg dose, 150 units water
2.5 / 10 * 150 = 37.5 units

60mg vial, 5mg dose, 320 units water
5 / 60 * 320 = 26.6 units
