Tirzepatide Mixing Chart: Reconstitution Reference Guide

What this chart does: Shows how much bacteriostatic water (BAC water) to add to your tirzepatide powder vial to achieve your target concentration, and what dose volume to draw for common weekly doses.

Step-by-Step Mixing Instructions

  1. Wash hands thoroughly before handling vials or syringes
  2. Wipe both vial tops (tirzepatide powder and BAC water) with an alcohol swab and let dry
  3. Draw your target amount of BAC water into a syringe
  4. Inject the BAC water slowly down the side of the tirzepatide vial — do not spray directly onto the powder
  5. Do not shake — gently swirl until the powder is fully dissolved
  6. The solution should be clear and colorless — discard if cloudy or particulate
  7. Label your vial with the date mixed and concentration
  8. Refrigerate immediately
⚠ Always use bacteriostatic water — not sterile water for injection. Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol which prevents bacterial growth and extends the vial's beyond-use date.
