How to use this Tirzepatide calculator

  1. Enter the vial size printed on your label — Tirzepatide is commonly sold as 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 30 mg.
  2. Enter the bacteriostatic water you added, in mL.
  3. Enter your dose, in mg.
  4. Pick your syringe — the units, fill bar and warnings all adjust to it.

Worked example

A 10 mg Tirzepatide vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives a concentration of 5 mg/mL. A 2.5 mg dose is 0.5 mL — which is 50 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, and about 4 doses per vial.

Common questions

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

There is no single correct amount — the water volume is your choice, and it only changes the concentration, never the amount of peptide you receive. More water means a larger, easier-to-measure draw; less water means a smaller one. 2 mL into a 10 mg vial gives 5 mg/mL, which makes most commonly referenced weekly amounts land on easy-to-read syringe marks.

Why is tirzepatide usually referenced weekly rather than daily?

Research literature describes a half-life of roughly 5 days, which is why studies typically use a once-weekly schedule. A longer half-life means the compound clears slowly, so weekly administration is what the published trials model.

How many doses will one vial give me?

Divide the vial's total mg by your dose in mg. The calculator does this for you and shows 'doses per vial'. Concentration does not change this number — only the vial size and your dose do.
