1Clean both tops
Wipe the rubber tops of the peptide vial and the water vial with an alcohol swab. Let them dry.

Use the amount you entered above. The calculator shows it in syringe units.
3Add it down the side
Aim at the glass wall, not at the powder, and push slowly.
4Swirl gently
Swirl or roll until it dissolves. Do not shake.

Approved products say not to use a cloudy solution or one with particles.
6Label and date it
Then draw each dose with a new sterile syringe. CDC: discard opened multi-dose vials after 28 days unless the maker says otherwise.

What you need
Good to know
What is a unit?
A volume mark. On U-100 syringes and pens, 100 units = 1 mL. How much peptide a unit holds depends on the water you added.
Orange cap or red cap?
U-100 syringes usually have orange caps. Red usually means U-40, a pet insulin scale that reads 2.5 times differently.
mg or mcg?
1 mg is 1,000 mcg. Typing 250 in the mg box is 1,000 times the dose, so the page flags a switched unit.
Syringe, pen or spray?
Syringes and unit pens count the same units. Nasal pumps count sprays. The DDAVP bottle gives 0.1 mL a spray and is primed before first use. Never share a pen.
Cloudy after mixing?
It should be clear. Approved products say not to use a cloudy solution or one with particles. It is worth having tested.
How long does it keep?
Approved products state their own limit. For opened multi-dose vials the CDC uses 28 days unless the maker says otherwise.
Added the wrong water?
Nothing is ruined. Enter the water you actually added and the units update. Bacteriostatic water is made for multiple uses; sterile water is single use.
Vial looks empty?
Freeze-dried peptide is a thin cake or film. 10 mg is a very small amount of powder, so a nearly empty look is normal.
