How to Reconstitute Tirzepatide: Dosing Units, BAC Water & Syringe Protocol
15mg Vial + 3mL BAC Water = 5.0 mg/mL (500 mcg / 0.5mg per 10 Units)
Standard Diluent: 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol Bacteriostatic Water (USP)
Required Laboratory Equipment
- Tirzepatide vial
- BAC water
- Alcohol wipes
- U-100 syringes
Step-by-Step Reconstitution Protocol
- Disinfect all vial tops with alcohol swabs.
- Draw 3.0 mL BAC water and introduce slowly along the vial wall.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to dissolve spontaneously; gently swirl if needed.
- Refrigerate at 2-8°C away from light.
