Tesamorelin reconstitution calculator

A worked example

Take a 10 mg vial of Tesamorelin and the catalogue's typical dose of 1.4 mg. Add 1 ml of bacteriostatic water and the vial holds 10.0 mg/ml, so one dose is 14 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

At once daily over 8 weeks that is 56 doses and 78.4 mg in total — 8 vials of 10 mg. One vial covers about 7 days at that rate. Storage on record — Powder: 20-25°C. Egrifta SV: use immediately. Egrifta WR: room temp up to 7 days

What the catalogue records

Typical dose

1.4-2mg daily (FDA-approved: 2mg for HIV lipodystrophy)

Frequency

Once daily (evening preferred for GH rhythm)

Cycle duration

Continuous therapy for maintained benefits

Half-life

26-38 minutes

Storage

Powder: 20-25°C. Egrifta SV: use immediately. Egrifta WR: room temp up to 7 days

Mixing a Tesamorelin vial

What you need

• Tesamorelin lyophilized powder
• Sterile water (Egrifta SV) or Bacteriostatic water (Egrifta WR)
• Insulin syringes
• Alcohol prep pads

Steps

1. Allow vial to reach room temperature
2. Egrifta SV: Add 0.5mL sterile water to 2mg vial - use immediately
3. Egrifta WR: Add 1.3mL bacteriostatic water to 11.6mg vial - stable 7 days
4. Gently swirl (don't shake vigorously)
5. Withdraw appropriate dose (~0.35mL for 1.4mg)
6. Inject SubQ, rotating sites
7. Store reconstituted WR at room temperature up to 7 days

Where this goes next

• Tesamorelin — mechanism, dosing and safety — what it is, what the evidence says, and what it interacts with.
• Build a cycle around it — the cycle builder runs this same arithmetic across every compound you add and totals the vials.
• The general reconstitution calculator — the same tool with nothing prefilled.
