Peptide Reconstitution & Dosing

Calculate per-injection dose, injection volume, and vial usage for weight-based peptide protocols (e.g., growth hormone-releasing peptides, BPC-157).

Example: 0.1 mg/kg for GHRP-2.

Common vial sizes: 2 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg.

Volume of bacteriostatic water used for reconstitution.

Dosing Summary

Per injection

8.00 mg

Volume: 3.20 mL at 2.50 mg/mL.

Daily total

8.00 mg/day

1 injection(s) per day.

Vial utilization

0.6 doses/vial

0.6 day(s) per vial.

Use insulin syringes for small volumes (0.1 mL markings). Store reconstituted peptide refrigerated per compounding instructions. Discard if cloudy or past beyond-use date.

How to Use This Calculator

1

Confirm protocol

Obtain the prescribed mg/kg dosing schedule and injection frequency from the clinician or protocol.

2

Reconstitute accurately

Add measured bacteriostatic water to the vial, letting the powder dissolve gently (avoid shaking).

3

Draw correct volume

Use the output volume for each injection. Track vial usage to plan reorders.

Formula

Per dose (mg) = weight (kg) × mg/kg per injection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I round the injection volume?

Keep to 0.01 mL precision when possible. Minor rounding (±0.01 mL) is typically acceptable but confirm with the prescriber.

How long does a vial last after reconstitution?

Most peptides: refrigerate and use within 14–30 days. Check pharmacy labeling for exact beyond-use date.

What if multiple peptides are used?

Calculate each separately; never mix peptides in the same vial unless directed by pharmacy.

Can I adjust doses myself?

No. Dose changes should be directed by a licensed healthcare provider experienced with peptide therapies.

Any injection technique tips?

Use sterile insulin syringes, rotate injection sites, and dispose of sharps in approved containers.
