How to Reconstitute Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin (Egrifta) comes with a manufacturer-provided diluent specifically designed for reconstitution. Unlike research peptides using BAC water, tesamorelin uses a proprietary sterile diluent, and the reconstituted solution should be used promptly.
Key Points
Step-by-Step Guide
Check Kit Contents
The Egrifta kit includes tesamorelin vials and diluent syringes. Verify all components are present, within expiration, and stored properly before use.
Prepare Diluent
The pre-filled diluent syringe contains the exact volume needed. Attach the mixing needle provided. No water volume calculation needed.
Add Diluent to Vial
Push the diluent into the tesamorelin vial slowly. Aim along the glass wall. The powder should dissolve within 30-60 seconds of gentle swirling.
Inspect Solution
Solution must be clear. Slight foaming is normal. If particles remain after gentle swirling, do not use. Each vial is for single use.
Draw and Inject
Draw the full reconstituted volume with a fresh needle. Inject subcutaneously into the abdomen. Use immediately after reconstitution—do not store the mixed solution.
Warnings & Precautions
- !Use ONLY the provided diluent—do not substitute BAC water.
- !Single-use: reconstitute immediately before injection.
- !Do not store reconstituted tesamorelin.
- !Follow manufacturer instructions exactly for this FDA-approved product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bacteriostatic water instead of the provided diluent?
No. The manufacturer diluent is formulated specifically for tesamorelin stability and sterility. Using BAC water may alter the formulation characteristics and is not recommended for this FDA-approved product.
Can reconstituted tesamorelin be stored?
No. Unlike research peptides in BAC water, tesamorelin should be injected immediately after reconstitution. Each vial is designed for single use.
What if the solution looks cloudy?
Do not use. Discard the vial and use a fresh one. Cloudiness may indicate degraded peptide or contamination. Contact the manufacturer if multiple vials appear cloudy.
