Frequently Asked
How do I reconstitute Dulaglutide?
Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 1.5 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 3 mg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of Dulaglutide?
A typical research dose is 1.5 mg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a Dulaglutide vial?
A 1.5 mg vial reconstituted with 0.5 mL BAC water yields approximately 1 doses at 1.5 mg each.
How many IU is 1.5 mg of Dulaglutide on a syringe?
With a 1.5 mg vial reconstituted in 0.5 mL bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 3 mg/mL. For a 1.5 mg dose: Volume = 1.5 mg ÷ 3 mg/mL = 0.5 mL. Draw to the 50 line on a 100-unit insulin syringe. You can adjust these values in the ASCEND calculator for any vial size.
What does a Dulaglutide dosage calculator do?
A Dulaglutide dosage calculator converts your vial size and BAC water volume into an exact syringe draw in IU. Enter your vial strength (1.5 mg), reconstitution volume (0.5 mL), and target dose to get the precise line to draw on an insulin syringe.
What is the Dulaglutide reconstitution calculator formula?
Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) divided by Concentration (mg/mL). For a 1.5 mg vial with 0.5 mL BAC water: concentration = 3 mg/mL. For a 1.5 mg dose, the ASCEND calculator gives the exact IU line on your syringe instantly.
Peptide Intelligence
What is the half-life of Dulaglutide?
Dulaglutide has a half-life of approximately 5 days, enabling once-weekly dosing. Its GLP-1 analog is fused to a modified IgG4-Fc antibody fragment, extending its half-life through FcRn-mediated recycling.
How is Dulaglutide different from other GLP-1 agonists?
Dulaglutide is a fusion protein (GLP-1 analog fused to IgG4-Fc), whereas Semaglutide and Liraglutide use fatty acid conjugation. The fusion protein approach gives Dulaglutide a different immunogenicity and injection site tolerability profile.
What are storage requirements for Dulaglutide?
Dulaglutide solutions require refrigeration at 2–8°C. Research-grade lyophilized preparations should similarly be stored cold and protected from freezing. Discard any solution that appears cloudy or discolored.
