Orforglipron Calculator
Orforglipron (also known as LY3502970) reconstitution and dosage reference — calculate vial concentration, BAC water volume, and exact syringe units below.
At the reference preset of a 36mg Orforglipron vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, a 12mg dose measures 66.67 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Orforglipron is a non-peptide oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist from Eli Lilly.

How to use this calculator›
- 1. Vial — the peptide amount printed on the vial, in milligrams.
- 2. BAC water — the bacteriostatic water added to the vial. More water means a lower concentration and a larger, easier-to-read draw.
- 3. Dose — the single dose being measured, in milligrams.
- 4. Syringe — the barrel being drawn into. The diagram rescales to that syringe, so the same dose sits at a different mark on a 0.3 mL barrel than on a U-100.

What is Orforglipron?
Orforglipron is a non-peptide oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist from Eli Lilly. Unlike injectable GLP-1s it is taken as a daily tablet and does not require reconstitution — dose values shown here are for reference only.
| 12 mg | lyophilized powder |
| 36 mg | lyophilized powder |
| 3 mg | ≈ 16.7 U-100 units (at 36mg / 2mL) |
| 12 mg | ≈ 66.7 U-100 units (at 36mg / 2mL) |
| 24 mg | ≈ 133 U-100 units (at 36mg / 2mL) |
| 36 mg | ≈ 200 U-100 units (at 36mg / 2mL) |
| 45 mg | ≈ 250 U-100 units (at 36mg / 2mL) |
How it's typically prepared
Orforglipron is an oral tablet, not an injectable. The reconstitution calculator does not apply.
Frequently asked questions
- Is orforglipron injected?
- No — orforglipron is taken orally. Reconstitution math does not apply.
