Teduglutide: track every shot, units to draw and what's still active
GLP-2 analog FDA-approved (as Gattex / Revestive) for short bowel syndrome; improves intestinal absorption and reduces parenteral support needs.

How many units is 5 mg of Teduglutide?
It depends on how the vial was mixed. Example: a 50 mg vial plus 5 mL of bacteriostatic water is 10 mg/mL, so 5 mg is 0.5 mL, or 50 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change the water and the units change. Use the calculator above with your own vial, and verify with your prescriber.
How long does Teduglutide stay in your system?
The Peppy catalog lists a half-life of about 2 hours for Teduglutide. After roughly five half-lives, about 10 hours, most of a single dose has cleared. That is an estimate from the half-life, not a measurement, and individual clearance varies.
Can I track Teduglutide in Peppy?
Yes. Teduglutide is one of 123 compounds built into Peppy, with its form, unit and typical frequency prefilled. Add it as a protocol, set your schedule, and Peppy handles the countdown, the log and the reminders (Pro).
Where should I inject Teduglutide?
Follow your prescriber's instructions. For subcutaneous shots the GLP-1 labels list the abdomen, thigh and upper arm and say to rotate. Peppy's body map has 13 sites, suggests the next one, and shows when each was last used. Read the site rotation guide.
