Tesamorelin reconstitution calculator
Concentration, volume and U-100 units for tesamorelin vials of 2 to 20 mg.
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth-hormone-releasing hormone. Research-labelled vials are commonly 5, 10 or 20 mg, and the amounts that appear in published and community sources are in the 1 to 2 mg range, so the syringe reading moves a lot with the water volume.
The calculator converts the vial size, water volume and amount into a concentration, a volume in mL and a U-100 reading, and shows how many amounts the vial holds.

Results are arithmetic from the three numbers entered. U-100 scale: 100 units = 1 mL. Presets are figures reported in published and community sources, offered as shortcuts, not recommendations. The vial label is the number to trust.

How the Tesamorelin numbers are worked out
Concentration is vial mass divided by water: 10 mg in 2 mL is 5.00 mg/mL; 5 mg in 2 mL is 2.50 mg/mL.
Volume is the amount divided by the concentration; a U-100 syringe reads 100 units per mL. 1 mg from a 10 mg vial at 2 mL is 20 units (0.2 mL).
Doubling the amount doubles the reading at the same concentration. Doubling the water halves the concentration and also doubles the reading.

Tesamorelin calculator questions
How many units is 1 mg of tesamorelin from a 10 mg vial?
With 2 mL of water, 20 units (0.2 mL). With 1 mL, 10 units (0.1 mL). The vial holds 10 amounts of 1 mg.
How many units is 2 mg of tesamorelin?
From a 10 mg vial with 2 mL, 40 units (0.4 mL). From a 20 mg vial with 2 mL, 20 units (0.2 mL). From a 5 mg vial with 2 mL, 80 units (0.8 mL).
Does a 2 mg tesamorelin amount fit in one syringe?
It depends on the concentration. From a 5 mg vial with 2.5 mL it is 100 units (1 mL), which fits a 1 mL syringe but not a 0.5 mL one. The calculator flags any reading above the selected syringe's capacity.
Is research-labelled tesamorelin the same as the prescription product?
The active ingredient has the same name, but research-labelled vials are not the approved product and have not been through that product's manufacturing and quality review. The arithmetic here applies only to the mass printed on the vial label.
What amounts do published and community sources report?
Figures of 1 mg and 2 mg are the ones most often reported in published and community sources. Both appear as presets to save typing, not as a recommendation, and none of them is presented here as a standard dose.
