Retatrutide 10 mg vial: mixing and syringe units
A 10 mg vial of Retatrutide mixed with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water is 10 mg/mL. At that strength 2 mg is 20 units on a U-100 syringe and 9 mg is 90 units. The doses on this page are the doses given in human trials, because there is no approved label.

How to mix a 10 mg Retatrutide vial
- Wash your hands. Wipe the stopper of the Retatrutide vial and the water vial with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Push the needle through the stopper of the peptide vial and let the water run slowly down the glass, not straight onto the powder.
- Swirl the vial gently until the powder is gone. Do not shake it.
- Write the date and 10 mg/mL on the vial, then put it in the fridge.
If you add a different amount of water
More water makes each dose a bigger, easier draw. Less water makes it smaller. The milligrams in the vial do not change.
| Water added | Concentration | 2 mg | 4 mg | 8 mg | 9 mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 20 units | 40 units | 80 units | 90 units |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 40 units | 80 units | 160 units | 180 units |
| 3 mL | 3.3333 mg/mL | 60 units | 120 units | 240 units | 270 units |
The marked row is the amount used in the chart above. Red cells are draws under 5 units, which are hard to read, or over 100 units, which one 1 mL syringe cannot hold.
