10mg vial + 1mL BAC water = 25 units = 2.5mg — Amounts listed in the Dosify Me data: 2.5mg-15mg, titrated up in 2.5mg steps (12.5mg and 15mg are two draws at 10mg/mL) — Frequency: weekly — Best taken: same day each week, with or without food

Amounts and schedules here are listed from the Dosify Me compound data (sources below). They are not recommendations: Dosify Me does not tell you what dose to take, so follow your prescriber.
Vial sizes up to 30 mg are mixed to 10 mg/mL. Larger vials hold at most 3 mL of water, so they are mixed more concentrated and need fewer units per dose.
| Vial | Bacteriostatic water | Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 0.50 mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 1.00 mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 15 mg | 1.50 mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 20 mg | 2.00 mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 30 mg | 3.00 mL | 10 mg/mL |
| 40 mg* | 3.00 mL | 13.33 mg/mL |
| 50 mg* | 3.00 mL | 16.67 mg/mL |
| 60 mg* | 3.00 mL | 20 mg/mL |
| 100 mg* | 3.00 mL | 33.33 mg/mL |
| 120 mg* | 3.00 mL | 40 mg/mL |
* This size is conventionally mixed more concentrated rather than diluted further — fewer units per dose than smaller vials of this peptide.
On a standard 100-unit (1 mL) insulin syringe, for vials mixed to 10 mg/mL (sizes marked * are more concentrated and need fewer units):
| Dose | Syringe units |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | 25.0 units |
| 5 mg | 50.0 units |
| 7.5 mg | 75.0 units |
| 10 mg | 100.0 units |
| 12.5 mg | 125.0 units |
| 15 mg | 150.0 units |
Amounts listed in the Dosify Me data: 2500–15000 mcg. Frequency: weekly. Timing: same day each week, any time, with or without food.
Listed titration schedule: weeks 1-4 2.5mg, weeks 5-8 5mg, weeks 9-12 7.5mg, weeks 13-16 10mg. Higher doses (12.5-15mg) are also listed later in some schedules. The 10mg reference vial mixes to 10mg/mL, so 12.5mg is 125 units and 15mg is 150 units: more than the 100 units a 1mL syringe holds, so each is two draws. Larger vial size options are capped at ~3mL BAC water instead of diluted further, so they come out more concentrated (fewer units per dose) than this reference size.
Check one row of the table above: 2500 mcg is 2.5 mg; 2.5 mg ÷ 10 mg/mL = 0.25 mL; 0.25 mL × 100 = 25 units.
Anecdotal and early-research reports, kept apart from the evidence above. Not clinically established.
Slows gastric emptying, which changes how other oral medications are absorbed — a single dose cut peak levels of oral contraceptives by over half in one study, and the label says to watch narrow-window oral drugs such as warfarin. It says nothing about thyroid medication. Combined with insulin or a sulfonylurea, the added blood-sugar-lowering effect can cause hypoglycemia — those doses often need to be reduced first. Talk to your prescribing doctor before combining, and ask about backup contraception if relevant.

At 10 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 30 mg), 2.5 mg of Tirzepatide is 25.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.250 mL).
At 10 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 30 mg), 5 mg of Tirzepatide is 50.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.500 mL).
At 10 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 30 mg), 7.5 mg of Tirzepatide is 75.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.750 mL).
0.50 mL, which gives 10 mg/mL. Larger vials hold at most 3 mL of water, so they are mixed more concentrated and need fewer units per dose.
1.00 mL, which gives 10 mg/mL. Larger vials hold at most 3 mL of water, so they are mixed more concentrated and need fewer units per dose.
1.50 mL, which gives 10 mg/mL. Larger vials hold at most 3 mL of water, so they are mixed more concentrated and need fewer units per dose.
Weekly. Same day each week, any time, with or without food Typical cycle: Often run continuously; tapering is done under guidance.
Yes. “tirz” is the short name people use for Tirzepatide in forums and search, and every figure on this page is for that same compound. The units, water and schedule above do not change with the spelling.
Dosify Me does this math for you. Pick the compound, your vial size and dose, and the app draws the exact syringe reading, keeps your schedule and reminders, and logs every dose — privately, on your phone.

Figures come from the Dosify Me compound database for Tirzepatide: concentration is the vial amount ÷ the water volume, and syringe units are the volume in mL × 100 on a U-100 syringe.
