10mg vs 30mg

[delboy19]

hey all

i'm mixed up when it comes to how reta is measured. i'm looking to get reta, but the 10mg option is gone and just the 30mg is left - so does that mean the order comes as 10 vials, each with 30mg???

or is it 30 vials, each with 10mg??

it's all so confusing lol

A kit contains 10 vials, and the mg number shown refers to how much is in each vial.

With 30mg, you receive 10 vials.

what's the process for combining it with bac water if my goal is 4mg weekly?

The units you draw depend on how much BAC water goes into the vial.

With 3mL BAC, the draw is 40 units.

With 2mL BAC, the draw is 26.7 units.

With 1mL BAC, the draw is 13.3 units.

Using a recon and dosage calculator online is what I'd recommend.

These days, whenever I reconstitute any of my peptides, I just rely on straightforward arithmetic.

Take the 30mg pie.

If every slice should come out to 4 mg,

that works out to 7.5 slices in all (which leaves 1/2 behind).

Now suppose 3ml BAC is what you add.

Then simply take that 3 and divide it by 7.5, giving .40ml for every 4mg dose.

Just jump to 5 mg—the difference won’t be meaningful, and you’ll get an even count of doses: 6 x 5 mg rather than 7.5 x 4 mg. Mix with either 1.8 ml or 2.4 ml (that’s 0.30 ml per pin or 0.4 ml per pin, in that order). Those six doses last five weeks, which is fairly safe.

Before anything else, make sure you learn the vocabulary well enough to tell mg, ml, and units apart. Even after the answers you've already received, I'd still be concerned that you might make a mistake with your dosing...

A peptide calculator can take care of this for you, and ideally it'll teach you enough that you feel sure about your dosing. Before you inject anything, I'd have someone who knows what they're doing look it over.

If a 30mg vial is mixed with 3ml bac, then 10 units on the syringe equals a 1mg dose, 5 units equals a .5mg dose, and it scales from there. My own first week of reta was 2.5 units (2x/week) and I could feel it, so my advice is to begin very low, since it can be rough on your g.i. tract. For reference, week 2 I moved to 5 units, week 4 to 10 units. By week 16 I'm at 25units (2x/week).

For someone just beginning, 4mg or 5 mg is far too much.

Starting doses and how to titrate up are covered in plenty of threads.

A lot of us started below 1mg per week, which helped avoid unpleasant side effects and let the body adjust to a new medication.

Those seeking more of a challenge begin at 2 mg. Opinions vary widely.

Given that OP is asking entry-level questions about kits, vial mass and reconstitution, they should spend more time searching the forum and studying before pinning.




What dose of reta are you at?



I realize everyone responds differently, but many posts I've read involve people beginning at low doses and never needing to titrate up to a high dose. I'm wondering whether people reach 12mg as in the clinical trials, or whether most benefits are achieved at lower doses. So my question is...

Don't take it for granted that a 30 mg vial actually holds 30 mg. Look at the third party CoA (Certificate of Analysis), then run the numbers through a reverse calculator.

For other questions, try the search feature.

I don't mean to be rude, but before you begin this you should do a lot more reading. Also, if you're only just starting, 4mg is too high a dose to begin with.

For my part — and this tends to be the standard approach — each 10 mg of compound gets paired with 1 ml of bac. With my 30mg bottles, that means adding 3ml of bac water. Dosing then becomes really simple. Say your target is 4mg; on an insulin syringe, that’s a draw of 40 units.

Once you move up to the larger vials and your injections get bigger, that stops being true. For that kind of range, a reconstitution calculator is what most people need. Take my situation: I dose 8 mg and draw 43 units. The vial is 50mg with a 56mg fill. After adding 3ml BAC, 43 units gives me 8mg. My Reta supply runs from R15 to R140, plus a huge amount of 50 and 60mg. Every vial holds 3ml.
