About Tesamorelin dosing

The clinical dose is 2 mg once daily. Many people start at 1 mg to judge tolerance.

Inject before bed or in the morning on an empty stomach, and keep the mixed vial in the fridge.

Step by step

Reconstitution steps

Every step below uses the numbers you entered above.

  1. 1
    Wipe both stoppers

    Swab the rubber tops of the 10 mg Tesamorelin vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with fresh alcohol pads. Let them air dry for a few seconds.

  2. 2
    Draw 2 mL of BAC water

    Pull 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into a reconstitution syringe (usually a 3 mL syringe with a 21g needle).

  3. 3
    Add water slowly, down the side

    Inject the water against the inside wall of the vial, don't blast it directly onto the powder. This protects the peptide from shear damage.

  4. 4
    Swirl, don't shake

    Gently swirl until the powder is fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Never shake, foaming denatures the peptide.

  5. 5
    Draw 20 units on a 1 mL syringe

    On your 100-unit (1 mL) insulin syringe, pull the plunger back until the rubber tip lines up with 20, that's your 1.00 mg dose. Tap out any air bubbles, then inject as directed.

  6. 6
    Store refrigerated

    Cap the vial and store at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for 3–4 weeks refrigerated.

Frequently asked questions

How many units is 1 mg of tesamorelin?

With a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (5 mg/mL), 1 mg is 0.2 mL, which is 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How much water do I add to a 10 mg tesamorelin vial?

2 mL is common and gives 5 mg/mL, so every 10 units equals 0.5 mg.

When should I inject tesamorelin?

Once daily, usually at bedtime or in the morning, away from meals.
