Tell us your current weekly dose and how long you want to be covered for. We will work out the total mg you need and which kit gives you the most for your money. Nothing here is a dose recommendation.

What does that come to per month?
Prices move, so nothing is filled in for you. Type the price of the kit you are looking at.
Already taking a GLP somewhere else?
A monthly fee on its own does not tell you what you are getting. Put your numbers in and see your real cost per mg.
Want us to check your invoice for you?
Email or text us your latest invoice showing the cost and the total mg. We will work out what you are paying per mg and tell you straight whether moving to us is worth it. We match or beat any licensed provider, like for like on total mg.

Sample dosing schedules for your kit
Every compounded vial is mixed at a different strength, so the same weekly dose is a different number of units on the syringe depending on which kit you have. The schedules below are the ones our compounding pharmacies supply with their kits. They are here so you can check them against the vial in your hand. Your prescribing provider sets your dose.

Tirzepatide dosing schedule: mg per week and units on a 1ml syringe
Show the tirzepatide chart
| mg per week | Wells, tirzepatide with glycine, 16.6mg per ml | OptioRx, tirzepatide with niacinamide, 17.65mg per ml | ReViveRx 40mg kit, 10mg per 0.5ml |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5mg | 15 units | 14 units | 13 units |
| 5mg | 30 units | 28 units | 25 units |
| 7.5mg | 45 units | 42 units | 38 units |
| 10mg | 60 units | 57 units | 50 units |
| 12.5mg | 75 units | 71 units | 63 units |
| 15mg | 90 units | 85 units | 75 units |
The three columns are not interchangeable. A 16.6mg per ml vial and a 17.65mg per ml vial look identical and hold a different amount of medication, so 45 units drawn from the wrong one is not the dose you think it is. Check the strength printed on your own vial before you draw up.
Semaglutide dosage chart: mg per week and units on a 1ml syringe
Show the semaglutide chart
| mg per week | 2.5mg per ml (7.5mg kit) | 5mg per ml (10mg and 25mg kits) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.25mg | 10 units | 5 units |
| 0.5mg | 20 units | 10 units |
| 0.75mg | 30 units | 15 units |
| 1mg | 40 units | 20 units |
| 1.5mg | 60 units | 30 units |
| 2mg | 80 units | 40 units |
| 2.5mg | 100 units, a full 1ml syringe | 50 units |
How many weeks does a kit last?
That is the question the planner above answers, because it depends on your dose rather than on the kit. As a worked example, the schedule supplied with the 7.5mg semaglutide kit runs twelve weeks: 0.25mg for the first three weeks, 0.5mg for the next three, 0.75mg for the next three and 1mg for the last three. The 25mg kit runs twenty weeks on the same pattern, held longer at each step. A tirzepatide patient settled at 7.5mg a week uses 30mg over four weeks, so a 33.2mg vial is about a month and a 149.4mg vial is about five.
Enter your own weekly dose at the top of this page and the planner works out the total mg you need, the vial size that covers it and what that comes to per month.
Working out units from mg per ml
How do I convert my dose into units on the syringe?
Divide your weekly dose in mg by the mg per ml printed on the vial. That gives you millilitres. Multiply by 100 for units on a standard 1ml insulin syringe. For example, 7.5mg from a 16.6mg per ml vial is 0.45ml, which is 45 units. Every number in the tables above is that same sum, rounded to the nearest whole unit.
What does 10 units of semaglutide mean?
It depends entirely on the strength of your vial. On a 2.5mg per ml vial, 10 units is 0.25mg. On a 5mg per ml vial, 10 units is 0.5mg. Units measure volume, not medication, so the same 10 units is a different dose depending on which vial it came from. This is why a dose quoted in units on its own tells you nothing without the concentration beside it.
Why is 2.5mg of tirzepatide 15 units on one vial and 14 on another?
Because the two vials are mixed at different strengths. At 16.6mg per ml, 2.5mg is 0.151ml, which rounds to 15 units. At 17.65mg per ml the same 2.5mg is 0.142ml, which rounds to 14 units. The dose is identical. The volume is not, because the second vial is slightly more concentrated.
What is the glycine or niacinamide in my tirzepatide?
They are carriers the compounding pharmacy adds to the formulation. Wells lists tirzepatide with glycine at 16.6mg/7.5mg per ml and OptioRx lists tirzepatide with niacinamide at 17.65mg/2mg per ml. The figure that matters when you draw up is the tirzepatide strength, the first number, because that is what the unit counts above are worked out from.
How long can a multi dose vial be used for?
The pharmacy notes supplied with these kits state that the FDA and USP require compounding pharmacies to recommend multi dose vials be used within 28 days unless the vial has been tested to last longer, and that for the larger vials you go by the beyond use date printed on the vial itself. Go by what is on your own vial and ask your provider if it is not clear.
These schedules are supplied by the compounding pharmacies as examples. They are not a dose recommendation and they are not a substitute for the schedule your own provider gives you. Doses are stepped up slowly and only when needed, and the pharmacy notes are explicit that a dose which is working well does not have to be increased. If your vial does not match any strength on this page, send us a photo of the label before you draw up and we will tell you what your units are.
