Tesamorelin reconstitution calculator
Enter your vial size, how much diluent you added, and the dose your prescriber told you to take. This tool converts those three numbers into a concentration, a draw volume, and a syringe reading — it does not tell you what dose to take.
What the FDA-approved product's own application states
Tesamorelin's FDA-approved branded product, Egrifta (now sold as Egrifta WR and Egrifta SV), was approved under BLA 022505 in 1 mg and 2 mg base-per-vial strengths — read directly off FDA's own Drugs@FDA record. Its approved indication is narrow and specific: reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected adult patients with lipodystrophy. The product's own label states it is "not indicated for weight loss management as it has a weight neutral effect" and that its long-term cardiovascular safety has not been established — a materially different use case than the general body-composition, longevity, or anti-aging framing tesamorelin is often marketed under today. This is a description of the branded product's vial strengths and approved use, not a recommendation for what a compounded dose should be — a compounded tesamorelin vial may be a different strength entirely, which is exactly what the calculator above works out from your own vial and diluent.
