Reconstitution Formula:
From: | To: |
HGH (Human Growth Hormone) reconstitution refers to the process of mixing lyophilized (freeze-dried) HGH powder with bacteriostatic water or sterile water to prepare it for injection. The concentration of the final solution depends on the amount of HGH and the volume of solvent used.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates the concentration by dividing the mass of HGH by the volume of solvent used.
Details: Accurate reconstitution is crucial for proper dosing of HGH. Too concentrated solution may lead to overdose, while too diluted solution may be ineffective.
Tips: Enter the mass of HGH in mg and the volume of solvent in mL. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What solvent should I use for HGH reconstitution?
A: Bacteriostatic water (with 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is recommended as it preserves the solution for multiple uses.
Q2: How long does reconstituted HGH last?
A: When reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, HGH typically remains stable for 14-28 days when refrigerated.
Q3: What's the typical concentration used in Canada?
A: Common concentrations range from 1-10 mg/mL, depending on the prescribed dosage and treatment plan.
Q4: Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water?
A: Yes, but the solution must be used immediately and cannot be stored as sterile water lacks preservatives.
Q5: How should I store reconstituted HGH?
A: Always store in the refrigerator (2-8°C) and protect from light. Do not freeze.
