How to Reconstitute Tirzepatide
Pre-filled calculator with standard defaults for Tirzepatide: 10 mg vial in 2 ml BAC water.
Standard Tirzepatide Reconstitution Protocol
Add 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg vial of Tirzepatide. This gives a concentration of 5.00 mg/ml. A standard 2500 mcg dose equals about 50.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe. Store refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 56 days.

Tirzepatide Reconstitution Chart
Common syringe draws at the standard Tirzepatide preset (10 mg in 2 mL BAC water = 5.00 mg/mL). Units are on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL). For laboratory research reference only.
| Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Amount (Tirzepatide) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 units | 0.05 mL | 250 mcg |
| 10 units | 0.10 mL | 500 mcg |
| 15 units | 0.15 mL | 750 mcg |
| 20 units | 0.20 mL | 1.00 mg |
| 25 units | 0.25 mL | 1.25 mg |
| 30 units | 0.30 mL | 1.50 mg |
| 40 units | 0.40 mL | 2.00 mg |
| 50 units | 0.50 mL | 2.50 mg |

Step-by-Step: How to Reconstitute Tirzepatide
-
1
Gather your supplies
A sealed 10 mg vial of Tirzepatide, a vial of bacteriostatic water, a 1 ml (100-unit) insulin syringe, and an alcohol swab.
-
2
Inject the water
Wipe both vial stoppers with alcohol. Draw 2 ml of BAC water into the syringe and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the Tirzepatide vial. Never spray directly onto the powder — the force can damage the peptide.
-
3
Swirl gently
Gently swirl the vial in a circular motion until the Tirzepatide fully dissolves. Do not shake. The solution should become clear.
-
4
Calculate your dose
At a concentration of 5.00 mg/ml, a 2500 mcg (2.500 mg) dose equals about 50.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe.
-
5
Draw and store
Draw your dose, perform the injection, and immediately return the vial to the refrigerator at 2–8°C. Use the reconstituted vial within 56 days.
These defaults reflect the most common community protocols for Tirzepatide. Individual research protocols may differ. Always verify against your source and consult a qualified practitioner before any injection. BodyHackGuide publishes for research and educational purposes only.
