This page is the full version of the disclaimer summarized in the footer of every page on drawdose.com. Read it before relying on any information or calculation provided by this site.
DrawDose is operated by Agensum LLC, an Illinois limited liability company.
What DrawDose is, and what it is not
DrawDose is a publisher of technical reference material on peptide reconstitution math, procedural information for handling lyophilized research peptides, and dosing schedules sourced from publicly available regulatory documentation. The site provides a calculator that performs reconstitution math on user-supplied inputs and reference pages that document publicly available information about specific peptides.
DrawDose is not a healthcare provider, medical practice, pharmacy, or telehealth service. It does not employ physicians, pharmacists, nurses, or other licensed healthcare professionals. It does not maintain a treatment relationship with any reader. It does not prescribe, dispense, recommend, or supply any peptide, medication, or medical product.
The content on this site is published for research and educational purposes. It is not directed at patients, does not constitute medical advice, and is not a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare provider in your jurisdiction.
Not medical advice
Nothing on this site — including but not limited to calculator outputs, peptide reference pages, dosing schedules, titration protocols, side effect descriptions, injection technique descriptions, storage guidelines, and FAQ answers — constitutes medical advice or a recommendation that any specific person take any specific peptide, dose, or course of action.
Information about FDA-approved dosing schedules is reportage of public regulatory documents (manufacturer prescribing information). Information about community-reported protocol variations is reportage of aggregated user data from public forums. Neither category is a recommendation by DrawDose that any reader follow any of the schedules described.
Decisions about whether to use any peptide, what dose to use, how to titrate, when to stop, and how to manage side effects are medical decisions. They require evaluation of an individual's medical history, current medications, contraindications, and individual physiology — none of which DrawDose has access to or evaluates. Make these decisions in consultation with a licensed healthcare provider who has access to your medical history and is authorized to practice in your jurisdiction.
Calculation accuracy
The calculator on this site performs arithmetic on user-supplied inputs. The accuracy of any specific calculation depends on the accuracy of the inputs. If the labeled peptide amount on a vial differs from the actual peptide amount (which is common for compounded peptides — Certificates of Analysis frequently show 5 to 15% variance from the label), the calculator output will be off by the same proportion regardless of how precisely the calculator computes its arithmetic.
Calculator outputs may also contain errors due to software bugs, edge cases in input handling, or rounding differences. Verify any calculation independently before relying on it. Do not rely on a single source — including DrawDose — for any calculation that affects a dose you intend to administer.
The calculator is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. If accuracy matters, verify with a second independent source.
FDA status of referenced peptides
Several peptides referenced on this site (tirzepatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, tesamorelin, and a few others) have FDA-approved branded formulations under specific brand names for specific indications. Reference content on these peptides describes the FDA-approved label information for those branded products, with the source cited.
Most peptides referenced on this site (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, retatrutide, melanotan II, MOTS-c, NAD+ in injectable form, and most of the other 60+ peptides covered) are not FDA-approved drugs. They are sold as research chemicals, not as medications. They are not approved for human consumption, have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy in any indication, and are not legal to compound or dispense as medications in the United States outside of specific exemptions.
Reference content on non-FDA-approved peptides describes pharmacological information from peer-reviewed scientific literature, manufacturer documentation, and community protocol surveys. The content describes what the literature reports; it does not represent that any peptide is safe or effective for any human use.
Compounded peptides — including compounded versions of FDA-approved molecules sold by compounding pharmacies as alternatives to branded products — are also not FDA-approved. Their concentration, purity, and stability vary by compounder. Reference content distinguishes between FDA-approved branded formulations and compounded versions where relevant.
No pharmaceutical manufacturer affiliation
DrawDose has no affiliation with Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, or any other pharmaceutical manufacturer. Brand names referenced on this site (Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy, Egrifta, and others) are trademarks of their respective manufacturers, used here for accurate reference to publicly available prescribing information. No endorsement of any branded product by any manufacturer is implied or claimed.
DrawDose has no affiliation with any compounding pharmacy, telehealth service, or peptide vendor. Mention of any compounder, vendor, or service on this site does not constitute endorsement.
Affiliate disclosure
DrawDose participates in affiliate programs with selected peptide vendors. When a reader follows a link from this site to a vendor and makes a purchase, DrawDose may earn a commission. Commissions are paid by the vendor at no additional cost to the reader.
Affiliate relationships are disclosed in two places. The /vendors page lists every active affiliate partner with the commission structure stated explicitly. Any peptide reference page that mentions a specific vendor links to /vendors and renders the affiliate disclosure adjacent.
Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial coverage, ranking, or content depth. Vendors that pay higher commission rates are not ranked higher than vendors that pay less. Vendors cannot purchase editorial placement, content modification, or ranking position. Selection and ranking criteria for the /vendors page are documented on that page.
DrawDose does not accept payment, free product, or other consideration from peptide manufacturers, compounding pharmacies, or pharmaceutical companies.
No warranty
The site, calculator, reference content, downloadable resources, and any other materials provided by DrawDose are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. DrawDose makes no representation or warranty that the content is accurate, complete, current, reliable, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose. DrawDose makes no warranty that the site or any of its features will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
The use of any content from this site is at the reader's sole risk.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Agensum LLC, DrawDose, their operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the use of this site, the calculator, or any content published here. This includes but is not limited to damages for personal injury, illness, adverse health outcomes, financial loss, lost profits, lost data, or any other loss or harm.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the limitations and exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted by law.
The reader assumes all risk associated with any decision made or action taken based on content from this site, including any decision regarding peptide use, dosing, sourcing, reconstitution, injection, or storage.
