Common Retatrutide vial sizes

Retatrutide is commonly supplied as 5, 10, 12, 20 mg vials. A common starting point is 10 mg reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which gives 5 mg/mL.

How to reconstitute Retatrutide

  1. Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (or your chosen volume) slowly down the side of the vial.
  2. Swirl gently until the solution is clear. Do not shake.
  3. Enter your vial size, water volume, and dose in the calculator above.
  4. Draw to the exact unit mark it highlights on the syringe.

Example dose in units

At 5 mg/mL, a 1 mg dose of Retatrutide is about 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change any value above to match your own vial.

Storage and handling

Retatrutide has an approximate half-life of 160 hours. Once reconstituted, peptides are generally kept refrigerated and protected from light, and are often used within about 28 days. See our storage guide for general handling information.
