Concentration Math Insulin Syringe Units (U-100, 100 units = 1 mL) Yield at maintenance: at a 1.2 mg combined dose per week, the vial provides ~3 weeks of dosing (15 mg 1.2 mg/wk = 12.5 weeks at total mass, but draws of 16 units twice a week or 16 units once a week land at ~3 weeks of practical use given common dosing patterns)
Sublingual administration, which bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, appears to be equally effective as IM injections while being less invasive and more cost-efficientparticularly in patients with atrophic gastritis, post-gastrectomy status, or conditions that impair intrinsic factor-mediated absorption, where long-term intervention is often required
Inhibiting NNMT has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for metabolic disease
1 Remove Dihexa vial from refrigeration and allow to reach room temperature (1520 minutes) 2 Clean vial top with alcohol swab and allow to air dry completely 3 Using a sterile syringe, draw the calculated volume of bacteriostatic water (BAC water) 4 Inject BAC water slowly down the side of the vial do not aim directly at the powder 5 Gently swirl in circular motions DO NOT shake vigorously as this degrades the peptide 6 Allow 23 minutes for full dissolution solution should be clear and colorless 7 Draw calculated dose into an insulin syringe for subcutaneous injection 8 Inject into abdomen, thigh, or upper arm
