Reconstituting Retatrutide properly is essential for reliable results in research. Here’s a step-by-step guide + calculator tips to help you do it right:

What You Need:

Lyophilized Retatrutide vial (e.g. 10 mg)

Bacteriostatic water (the solvent)

Sterile syringes & needles

Alcohol swabs & gloves

Labels + marker

Refrigeration (2-8 °C)

Step-by-Step:

Clean the vial top with alcohol.

Draw up the correct amount of bacteriostatic water (use a calculator to decide volume).

Inject the water slowly down the inner wall of the vial → this reduces foaming.

Swirl gently until fully dissolved (no clumps). Avoid shaking.

Check clarity of the solution.

Label vial (concentration & date), store in fridge.

Calculator Examples:

If you mix 10 mg with 2 mL water → concentration = 5 mg/mL

0.1 mL = 0.5 mg, 0.2 mL = 1 mg

If you use 4 mL water → 2.5 mg/mL, etc.

Safety & Storage Tips:

Keep reconstituted Retatrutide refrigerated.

Discard after 30 days OR whenever the solution gets cloudy or shows changes.

Use sterile equipment every time.

Don’t freeze. Keep away from heat/light.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Shaking the vial

Injecting water too fast → causes foam

Skipping cleaning or using non-sterile materials

Using wrong diluent (only bacteriostatic water recommended)

Miscalculating dose
