doses of VIP used in research

Synthetic VIP (aviptadil) is authorised in France as Invicorp, a fixed 25 mcg aviptadil / 2 mg phentolamine intracavernosal injection for erectile dysfunction; IV aviptadil showed no benefit in the phase 3 TESICO COVID-19 respiratory-failure trial. These are the amounts specific labels and studies used, linked to each source. They are references, not recommendations; a prescription label takes priority.

what the numbers mean · where they come from

terms and sources

  • Label amount or measured amount. The calculator starts from the amount printed on the vial. A lot certificate’s measured content (net peptide content, in mg) can replace it for the vial that was tested. HPLC purity is a share of peak area, not a mass, so a purity-only correction is shown as an estimate. See HPLC, certificate of analysis and how to read a peptide COA.
  • Concentration. Amount in the vial ÷ water added. Terms: reconstitution, bacteriostatic water, lyophilized.
  • Syringe units. A volume: 0.01 mL per unit on a U-100 syringe, 0.025 mL on U-40. Units say nothing about the compound until the concentration is known.
  • Cost per draw. Vial price × amount per draw ÷ vial amount, from the price per mg of a current offer. Offers come from the VIP price comparison; certificates from the COA library.

Arithmetic only, on the numbers entered. Amounts from labels or trials are cited references, not recommendations; PeptideTech does not give personal use instructions and does not test products.

short answers

VIP calculator questions

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to VIP 5mg?
Any volume the vial holds; 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL, so 10 units on a U-100 syringe holds 250 mcg. More water makes each draw read more units. The table below shows 1–5 mL for every VIP vial size on sale.
What changes the calculated concentration?
Only two inputs: the amount of VIP in the vial and the water added. 5mg in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL; twice the water halves it, and the amount per draw then reads twice the units. A lot certificate's measured content replaces the label: LA Peptides's 10mg lot 1418 measured 10.51 mg, which in 2 mL is 5.255 mg/mL. HPLC purity is a share of peak area, not a measured mass, so it is shown only as an estimate.
What doses of VIP were used in research?
Synthetic VIP (aviptadil) is authorised in France as Invicorp, a fixed 25 mcg aviptadil / 2 mg phentolamine intracavernosal injection for erectile dysfunction; IV aviptadil showed no benefit in the phase 3 TESICO COVID-19 respiratory-failure trial. The table on this page lists 2 sources with amounts, schedules and links.
What does VIP cost per mg?
The lowest current US price is $59.99 for 10mg at LA Peptides (about $6.00 per mg, checked 2026-11-03). The calculator turns any vial price into cost per draw.
How much VIP is really in the vial?
Lot certificates on file report measured content: for example LA Peptides's 10mg lot 1418 measured 10.51 mg at 99.8% purity. Use the certificate correction to calculate from the measured amount.
