Changes concentration only — your dose stays the same.
1000 mcg = 1 mg
1.0 mL (100-unit) insulin syringe · smallest mark = 2 units · check yours, gradations vary by brand
Show the math
- Concentration: 10 mg ÷ 2 mL = 5.00 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL)
- Dose volume: 1000 mcg ÷ 5000 mcg/mL = 0.200 mL
- Syringe units: 0.200 mL × 100 = 20 units
How much water should I add?
The same 1000 mcg dose from your 10 mg vial, at each water volume. More water spreads the dose over more units, which is easier to read accurately. Tap a row to use it.
✓ = the draw lands exactly on a mark of your 1.0 mL (100-unit) syringe — no eyeballing between gradations.
Calculated on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL). This is reconstitution arithmetic for Tesamorelin, not a dosing recommendation. Verify against your product label and a qualified professional.

About Tesamorelin dosing
Tesamorelin (Tesamorelin) is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog studied for its effects on visceral fat. It is commonly sold in 5 mg, 10 mg vials. Commonly-cited community and research protocols reference a range of 1,000–2,000 mcg, commonly once daily in cited protocols. Sold in 5 mg and 10 mg vials; a 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives a convenient concentration.
Remember that the number of syringe units for any dose depends entirely on how much bacteriostatic water you add. The calculator above is pre-filled with a common setup for Tesamorelin; adjust the inputs to match your own vial and the units update instantly.

Tesamorelin calculator — FAQ
How do I reconstitute Tesamorelin?+
Sold in 5 mg and 10 mg vials; a 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives a convenient concentration. Add your chosen amount of bacteriostatic water to the vial, swirl gently (never shake), and use the calculator above to convert your target dose into insulin-syringe units.
What is a common Tesamorelin dose?+
Commonly-cited protocols reference 1,000–2,000 mcg, commonly once daily in cited protocols. These are references for the arithmetic, not a prescription — confirm with your product label and a qualified professional.
How many units of Tesamorelin should I draw?+
That depends on your vial size and how much bacteriostatic water you added. Enter both into the calculator above along with your dose and it shows the exact units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
