Home Tesamorelin Dosage Calculator & Chart: Units, mL, Mixing & Reconstitution
Tesamorelin dosing can involve several measurements, including vial strength, reconstitution volume, injection volume, and U-100 syringe units. This Tesamorelin Dosage Calculator and Chart brings those conversions together in one place, with an interactive calculator, dosage and reconstitution charts, units-to-mL references, and common mixing examples. It can also be used for compounded Tesamorelin calculations when you enter the exact vial strength, reconstitution volume, and prescribed dose supplied by your clinician or dispensing pharmacy.
Enter your Tesamorelin vial strength, bacteriostatic water amount, and target dose to calculate concentration, mL per dose, U-100 syringe units, and approximate doses per vial. You can also use the reference charts below to compare common conversions, including common compounded-vial examples for at-home use.

Tesamorelin Dosage Chart: Units, mL, Concentration & Reconstitution
Use this reference section alongside the calculator above to understand how Tesamorelin vial strength, reconstitution volume, concentration, injection volume, and U-100 syringe units relate to one another. The calculator performs the math using the exact values you enter; the charts below provide common reference points.
Compounded Tesamorelin Vial & Reconstitution Reference
| Vial Strength | BAC Water | Resulting Concentration | 500 mcg | 1,000 mcg (1 mg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 2,000 mcg/mL | 0.25 mL / 25 units | 0.50 mL / 50 units |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5,000 mcg/mL | 0.10 mL / 10 units | 0.20 mL / 20 units |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2,500 mcg/mL | 0.20 mL / 20 units | 0.40 mL / 40 units |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10,000 mcg/mL | 0.05 mL / 5 units | 0.10 mL / 10 units |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5,000 mcg/mL | 0.10 mL / 10 units | 0.20 mL / 20 units |
These are mathematical examples for compounded Tesamorelin and are not dosing or mixing instructions. Compounded preparations may use different vial strengths, reconstitution volumes, concentrations, diluents, storage requirements, and prescribed doses. Use the exact instructions from your prescriber and dispensing pharmacy.
FDA-Approved EGRIFTA WR® Reference
EGRIFTA WR® is a branded FDA-approved Tesamorelin product with product-specific vial strength, reconstitution, dosing, and storage instructions. Its instructions should not be applied to a compounded Tesamorelin vial. If you use EGRIFTA WR®, follow its prescribing information and the instructions supplied with the medication.
U-100 Syringe Units and mL Conversion
A U-100 insulin syringe represents 100 units per 1 mL. That means 10 units = 0.10 mL, 25 units = 0.25 mL, 50 units = 0.50 mL, and 100 units = 1.00 mL. The number of units needed for a specific Tesamorelin dose depends on the concentration after reconstitution.
| U-100 Units | Injection Volume |
|---|---|
| 5 units | 0.05 mL |
| 10 units | 0.10 mL |
| 20 units | 0.20 mL |
| 25 units | 0.25 mL |
| 50 units | 0.50 mL |
| 100 units | 1.00 mL |
How the Calculator Converts a Dose Into Units
The calculator first converts the vial amount from mg to mcg, then divides that amount by the bacteriostatic water volume to determine concentration. Your target dose is divided by that concentration to calculate mL per dose. For a U-100 syringe, the mL result is multiplied by 100 to display syringe units.
Concentration = total mcg ÷ water (mL)
mL per dose = target dose (mcg) ÷ concentration (mcg/mL)
U-100 units = mL per dose × 100
500 mcg of Tesamorelin = How Many Units?
If a 2 mg vial of Tesamorelin is mixed with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water, 500 mcg equals approximately 25 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Changing the amount of water changes the concentration and the number of syringe units.
Common Compounded Tesamorelin Examples
| Vial | BAC Water | Concentration | Example Dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 2,000 mcg/mL | 500 mcg ≈ 25 units |
| 2 mg | 2 mL | 1,000 mcg/mL | 500 mcg ≈ 50 units |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2,500 mcg/mL | 500 mcg ≈ 20 units |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5,000 mcg/mL | 500 mcg ≈ 10 units |
Examples are mathematical estimates for common compounded-vial configurations only. They are not recommended doses or mixing instructions. Always follow your provider and pharmacy instructions.
Reconstituting Your Tesamorelin Vial
Reconstitution means adding liquid, usually bacteriostatic water, to a freeze-dried peptide so it can be measured.
- Clean both stoppers. Wipe the bacteriostatic water vial and peptide vial with alcohol.
- Draw the water first. Use the amount prescribed by your provider or pharmacy.
- Add the water slowly. Aim down the inside wall of the vial.
- Do not shake hard. Let the powder dissolve gently.
- Store as instructed. Follow your prescription label and pharmacy guidance.
FAQ
What is the FDA-labeled EGRIFTA WR dose?
The current EGRIFTA WR prescribing information lists 1.28 mg (0.16 mL of the reconstituted solution) injected subcutaneously once daily. The 11.6 mg vial is reconstituted with 1.3 mL of the supplied bacteriostatic water and provides seven consecutive daily doses.
Are EGRIFTA WR and EGRIFTA SV interchangeable?
No. The FDA prescribing information states that EGRIFTA WR and EGRIFTA SV have different recommended dosages, vial strengths, reconstitution instructions, and storage requirements and are not substitutable.
What does Tesamorelin reconstitution mean?
Reconstitution means adding bacteriostatic water or another approved diluent to a freeze-dried Tesamorelin vial before measuring a dose.
How much bacteriostatic water should I add?
Use the amount listed on your prescription, pharmacy label, or provider instructions. The calculator works with the amount you enter.
Can compounded Tesamorelin come in different vial strengths?
Yes. Compounded Tesamorelin may be dispensed in different vial strengths and concentrations depending on the prescription and pharmacy. Enter the exact vial amount shown on your pharmacy label rather than assuming every vial uses the same strength.
Can I use the EGRIFTA WR mixing instructions for compounded Tesamorelin?
No. EGRIFTA WR is a specific FDA-approved branded formulation with its own product instructions. Compounded Tesamorelin can use different vial strengths, diluent amounts, concentrations, storage directions, and beyond-use dates. Follow the instructions for the exact product you received.
Why can the same Tesamorelin dose equal different syringe units?
The number of syringe units depends on the concentration after reconstitution. A vial mixed with more or less liquid will have a different concentration, so the same prescribed dose can require a different injection volume and different U-100 syringe units.
What should I do if my compounded vial does not match a chart on this page?
Use the calculator with the exact vial strength and reconstitution volume listed by your pharmacy. If the label or instructions are unclear, contact your prescriber or dispensing pharmacy before preparing or injecting the medication.
Does adding more water change the dose?
No. The peptide dose stays the same, but adding more water lowers the concentration, so you draw more mL and more syringe units.
How do I know how many units to draw?
Enter the vial size, water amount, and target dose. The calculator converts the dose into U-100 syringe units.
How do I convert mg to mcg?
1 mg equals 1,000 mcg. For example, 2 mg equals 2,000 mcg, 5 mg equals 5,000 mcg, and 10 mg equals 10,000 mcg.
Is this calculator medical advice?
No. This calculator only performs math conversions. It does not recommend dosage, frequency, treatment schedule, or protocol.
