Post-injection care is straightforward: Stay hydrated for the remainder of the day Avoid rubbing or massaging the injection site aggressively Apply a cold compress if swelling or soreness develops at the injection site Monitor for signs of allergic reaction (hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) for at least 30 minutes Contact your provider or seek emergency care if you experience chest tightness, significant swelling, or breathing difficulty Strenuous exercise can resume the same day for most patients, though some prefer to wait until the following morning if injection-site soreness is noticeable
Example: 10 mg peptide with 2 mL BAC water equals 5 mg/mL concentration
Contracture and Muscle Atrophy Contracture of the operated limb, which persisted in controls, was completely reversed in BPC 157-treated rats
The following formula illustrates the relationship: Concentration (mg/mL) = Vial content (mg) Volume of bacteriostatic water added (mL) Illustrative examples: 2 mg vial + 1 mL bacteriostatic water = 2 mg/mL 2 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 1 mg/mL 5 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 2.5 mg/mL Note that the concentrations in the examples above differ from one another
