Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store my medications?

Store unreconstituted (powder) vials in the refrigerator or freezer. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated and use within 28 days unless otherwise specified for your medication.

Are the medications stable during shipping?

Yes. Lyophilized (powder) peptides in your OutfitMD home kit are stable at room temperature during transit. Once you receive them, store according to the instructions for your specific medication.

How do I reconstitute my medication?

Draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject slowly into the vial against the glass wall (not directly onto the powder), and gently swirl until dissolved. Never shake the vial. Refer to your specific medication page for exact water amounts.

What does "units" mean on my syringe?

Insulin syringes measure in "units" rather than milliliters. 100 units = 1 mL. Your dosage chart will specify how many units to draw based on your medication's concentration.

Where should I inject?

Most peptides are injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in areas with pinchable fat: abdomen (avoiding 2 inches around the navel), outer thigh, or back of the upper arm. Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue irritation.


What time of day should I take my medication?

Timing varies by medication. Check your specific medication page for recommendations. Some peptides work best in the morning, others before bed, and some need to be taken while fasting.

Can I travel with my medication?

Yes. Unreconstituted (powder) peptides are stable at room temperature for travel. Once reconstituted, keep them cool using an insulated bag with ice packs. Carry your order confirmation. For air travel, medications should go in your carry-on bag.

What should I do if I experience side effects?

Contact your general practitioner or healthcare provider immediately for any concerning symptoms. For emergencies, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Common minor side effects like injection site redness typically resolve on their own.
