Tirzepatide: Dilution Q's

[Shannon_98]

Okay, so I'm getting back on Tirz after a break. I have these 60mg vials now, and I think I was at 7mg before using 30mg vials. I know the BAC water amount doesn't *really* matter. The calculator says if I use 3ml of BAC water with the 60mg vial, a 13 unit draw should give me 2.5mg. Does anyone know the MINIMUM amount of BAC water I need to dilute 60mg? Also, I'm not sure how much the vial can actually hold.

You got options! Use 2 or 3ml's of bac water. With 2ml, you'll have a stronger concentration per ml. I wouldn't go over 3ml in that vial. Or, split the 60mg powder into two sterile vials and freeze half. At 2.5mg per week, that 60mg is going to last a loooong time.

 

[Wait-And-See]

3ml should fit in the vial without a problem I think.

 

[Shannon_98]

Wait, can you freeze Tirz after it's been mixed with BAC water?!

 

[TransformMe]

Not a good idea! Only freeze the powder BEFORE you mix it.

 

[Shannon_98]

Yeah, that's what I always thought... freeze the powder, not the reconstituted stuff. Thanks!

Eh, some people do it. I've done it, and it seemed fine, felt the same as usual. Some of these peptides are tougher than we think.

Yep! I wouldn't suggest it if it didn't work. Search around, there's more info on it.

13 units is the same as .13cc or .13ml.

I want my injected volume to be less than .5ml. Splitting the dose is good, like 15mg/week as two 7.5mg shots. You can do that if you mix it to 20-30mg/ml (using 2-3ml of bac).

The problem is using the 60mg vial when starting at 2.5mg/week. I think it's best to toss the vial after 3 months, max.

Also, I'm okay with freezing reconstituted Tirz... once.

It's Tirzepatide, not Triz lol.

I like to keep those syringe markings in mind when mixing. Increments of 5, 10, or 15 are easier to draw than 13. Check the calculator in my signature.

And check the CoA for your batch, and consider the actual mass if it's off (+/- 5%?) from what's listed.

The highest concentration I've seen for Tirz was 22mg/ml from a compounding pharmacy. I think 3ml BAC should be okay for 60mg.

 

[QuirkyKing]

I have a vial compounded to 28mg/ml. Lilly uses up to 30mg/ml.

 

[Mel]

Good to know, thanks QuirkyKing

 

[Shannon_98]

So, after mixing, could I split it into smaller vials, like 6, and freeze 5 of them? I break mine into thirds using 3ml of BAC, and with the overfill, I'm at 23.33mg/ml, which works great for my 7.5mg dose.

Totally new to this... how do you guys equalize the pressure in the vial when adding the bac water? Is that even a thing for Tirz?

I pull the plunger out of the syringe a bit and stick the needle in the vial. That lets the air equalize so the water doesn't squirt in too fast and mess up the peptide.

 

[Erin_94]

Thanks TransformMe! Good tip!

the whole situation screams suspicious. i filtered some stuff before but not all — that's changing. plenty of places to order clean supplies, and if you're using pens, you're putting it in a vial anyway so why not just use the vial.
