Per-compound reconstitution
Each compound is calculated on its own — different vials, different concentrations, different draws. Use these references, then run your exact numbers on each compound's calculator.
Tesamorelin reference
U-100 units to draw for each common Tesamorelin dose, by vial size, reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water.
| Vial | Concentration | 1 mg | 1.5 mg | 2 mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 1 mg/mL | 100 u(1 mL) | 150 u(1.5 mL) | 200 u(2 mL) |
| 5 mg | 2.5 mg/mL | 40 u(0.4 mL) | 60 u(0.6 mL) | 80 u(0.8 mL) |
| 10 mg | 5 mg/mL | 20 u(0.2 mL) | 30 u(0.3 mL) | 40 u(0.4 mL) |

Educational reference only — not a dose recommendation. Units assume a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL on U-100). Always confirm against your own vial, diluent, and clinician or pharmacy instructions.
Ipamorelin reference
U-100 units to draw for each common Ipamorelin dose, by vial size, reconstituted with 2.5 mL of bacteriostatic water.
| Vial | Concentration | 100 mcg | 200 mcg | 300 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 0.8 mg/mL | 12.5 u(0.13 mL) | 25 u(0.25 mL) | 37.5 u(0.38 mL) |
| 5 mg | 2 mg/mL | 5 u(0.05 mL) | 10 u(0.1 mL) | 15 u(0.15 mL) |

How are tesamorelin and ipamorelin run together?
Tesamorelin and ipamorelin act on different parts of the GH axis, so they are often dosed together. Each vial reconstitutes to its own concentration — tesamorelin doses are in milligrams, ipamorelin in micrograms — so the draws look very different. Calculate each on its own page.
- Tesamorelin: mg doses; ipamorelin: mcg doses
- Different concentrations — never share a draw figure
- Commonly dosed at the same time
Tesamorelin + ipamorelin dosage chart: tesamorelin units
Units to draw on a U-100 syringe for common tesamorelin doses (1.4 mg is the Egrifta SV daily dose) at three vial set-ups.

Educational reference only — not a dose recommendation. Units assume a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL on U-100); “per vial” is how many of that dose the vial holds, before the small dead-space loss on each draw. Confirm against your own vial label, diluent, and clinician or pharmacy instructions.
Tesamorelin + ipamorelin dosage chart: ipamorelin units
Units to draw on a U-100 syringe for common ipamorelin doses at three vial set-ups. Ipamorelin is dosed in micrograms, so its draws are far smaller than tesamorelin's.

Why are the tesamorelin and ipamorelin draws so different?
Because tesamorelin is dosed in milligrams and ipamorelin in micrograms, their syringe units differ by an order of magnitude even at the same vial size and water volume. The per-compound reference tables above show each independently so you do not mix them up.
- An order-of-magnitude difference in dose scale
- Calculate and draw each separately
- Track two reconstitution dates and doses-remaining counts
