Am I doing this right?

Just want to double-check my process. I'm using an online peptide mixing calculator I found (like the one on jaycampbell dot com).

I have a vial of 30 mg of Tirzepatide, and I want to dose 7.5 mg weekly. With my calculations:

If I add 2 ml of bac water, and use a 1 ml syringe, I need to draw ~50 units each week.
That means each vial should last about a month, right?

Is there a reason to use more or less bac water? Does it even matter?

Also, can I use insulin syringes for mixing? Would I just have to draw twice to get the 2ml?
 
I'm kinda tired so I'll be quick... I don't mean to sound like a jerk but if you used a calculator already, why are you asking us to check it? Are you just looking for validation that you're not gonna screw it up?

OK, let's break it down.
How many 7.5mg doses are in 30mg? 30 / 7.5 = 4 doses
You have 2 ml of water to split into 4 doses: 2 / 4 = 0.5ml
0.5ml is 50 units. So you're good.

The amount of water just affects the volume you inject. A calculator makes the math easy.

And yes, insulin syringes are fine. Why wouldn't they be? Just remember that 100 units = 1 ml. It's even on your screen shot.

Use a fresh needle for injecting. Poking that needle into the vial a bunch of times will dull it, and it will hurt!
 
Thanks! I'm new, so I want to make sure I do this correctly. Should I get bigger syringes (2ml or more) for mixing? Then I only have to stab it once...
 
Sounds like you're on the right track. I use 3ml luer-lock syringes for mixing, but I get them cheap. You could get 3ml syringes if you want (never seen 2ml ones). Insulin syringes are cheap too. You could use one for mixing and another for injecting. It's up to you, really.
 
Each dose is 1/4 of the vial so it's 1/4 of the liquid you add. If you use a 1ml/100 unit syringe, you'd have four 25 unit doses. Adding a lot of water just means injecting more liquid, but it's still the same amount of medication.
 
I use 45-50 units for tirz because that's what EliLilly (and my compounding pharmacy) used. There's a science behind it. Parenteral preparations.

ALWAYS follow the manufacturer's directions for reconstitution, including the expiration date, type of diluent to use, etc. NEVER guess!
 
You should get Luer lock syringes and needles from Amazon.

I use 3mL of bac water, injecting 75 units for 7.5mg of Tirz.

I'm 57, in good shape, and getting started with peptides. It's hard to find clear instructions on mixing and dosing. Ipamorelin, CJC1295 w/DAC, oxytocin, BPC-157, TB-500... I can buy them, but how much water do I use and how much do I inject?
 
I'm on TRT (.25ml twice a week) and HCG (333iu 3x a week) but haven't seen much difference in body comp. My doc suggested trying GHRP 2, 6, or Sermorelin. Thoughts?

IMO, up your T dose first. Peptides are a long game and not always worth the cost. What are your T levels?
