Teriparatide Dosage Calculator & Chart

1Set Up Your Mix

5 mg/mL · 5000 mcg/mL

1. Pick your peptide

2. How much peptide is in the vial? It's printed on the label — usually something like 5 mg

3. How much water are you adding? More water makes each dose easier to measure

4. How much do you want per dose?

Your Answer — Teriparatide

10 mg ÷ 2 mL = 5 mg/mL → 20 mcg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.004 mL → × 100 = 0.4 units

0.4 units is a tiny amount to measure — a small slip makes a big difference. Add more water when you mix and the number gets easier to read.

Built from this peptide's dose range

Where this came from: Built from the doses listed for this peptide below — start at the lowest and step up, using the studies cited on this page. Nobody publishes a week-by-week plan for this peptide, so we built one: the doses are the researched ones shown below, and we simply put them in order from lowest to highest. Treat it as a starting point, not an official schedule.

PTH 1-34, recombinant parathyroid hormone fragment

Class

Half-life

~1 h

Evidence tier

Clinical

The first 34 amino acids of parathyroid hormone, and an approved osteoporosis medicine. Intermittent once-daily dosing is anabolic to bone, while continuous exposure has the opposite effect, so the schedule matters more here than with most compounds. Approved labelling limits total duration of use.

Common Questions — Teriparatide

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10 mg vial of Teriparatide?

Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg vial gives 5 mg/mL. That is the mix every number on this page is worked out from — change the water figure in the calculator and all the draw amounts update.

What dose of Teriparatide is used in research?

Published and reported figures for Teriparatide run from 20 mcg to 40 mcg, typically once daily. This site lists each figure with the source it came from rather than giving a single recommended number.

How many units on the syringe is a 20 mcg dose of Teriparatide?

At 5 mg/mL, a 20 mcg dose is 0.4 units on a 1 mL U-100 insulin syringe. One vial at that mix gives about 500 doses.

How strong is the evidence behind these Teriparatide doses?

Teriparatide is graded clinical. Human trial or approved-label dosing has been published for this compound. We grade every compound on this site so you can weigh the numbers accordingly — the full method is on our editorial policy page.
