Education and arithmetic only

Peptinote provides calculators that do arithmetic with the numbers you enter, a tracker that keeps a personal log on your device, and general educational information about GLP-1 medications, peptides, syringes and related topics. It is not medical advice. It doesn’t diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and it isn’t a substitute for advice from your prescriber, your pharmacist or another qualified health professional who knows your situation.

Using Peptinote, on the free plan or with Pro, doesn’t create a doctor–patient, pharmacist–patient or any other professional relationship. Paying for Pro buys software features, never advice.

No dosing recommendations

We never suggest, rank or imply a dose, a schedule, a protocol or a combination for any compound. Our calculators take the dose your prescriber gave you and work out how to measure it. They can’t tell you whether a dose, a medicine or a product is right for you.

Pages about prescription GLP-1 medicines may show the dosing schedule from the official FDA label, quoted and cited for reference. Your prescriber decides your dose and when it changes. Follow their instructions, not a chart.

Check every result

A calculator is only as good as the numbers it’s given. A typo, mixing up mg and mcg, or a vial labeled differently from what you expect will give a wrong answer, and the arithmetic will still look tidy.

• Confirm before you act. Check any result with your pharmacist or prescriber before you draw or inject anything, and whenever something changes: a new vial, a new strength, a new syringe or a new dose.
• Use what’s in your hand. Enter the strength printed on your own vial or pharmacy label, and read the marks on your own syringe.
• Know the limits. Our calculators assume U-100 insulin syringes and the conditions described on how our calculator works, which also lists what they don’t account for.

The tracker, reminders and reports

The tracker, free or Pro, is a personal log. It records what you enter, stores it on your device and does arithmetic with it. It doesn’t check whether a dose, a schedule or an injection site is right for you, and it never tells you what to take.

• Reminders can fail. Pro reminders are calendar events you add to your own calendar app. They depend on that app, your device, its notifications and its time zone, and they can be missed, delayed or deleted. Don’t rely on them alone for a dose that matters.
• Rotation suggestions are reminders, not advice. The injection-site map shows where you’ve recorded injections. Follow the injection instructions from your prescriber, your pharmacist or your medicine’s label.
• Reports are copies of your log. The printable report shows what you entered, so it’s only as accurate as your log. It’s a way to share your record with your prescriber, not an assessment.
• Your log can be lost. It exists only on your device, so keep an export (see your tracker data).

Medicines and compounds that aren’t FDA-approved

Many compounds discussed on Peptinote, including most peptides, are not approved by the FDA for human use. Compounded medicines aren’t FDA-approved either. In the FDA’s words, “Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means that FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed” (FDA).

Describing a compound, summarizing its research or doing arithmetic for a vial is not an endorsement, and not a recommendation to obtain or use it. Each compound page states its current US regulatory status with an “as of” date and its sources. Rules and regulators’ decisions change, and the status can be different outside the US.

No endorsement

We don’t sell, source or link to sellers of peptides or bacteriostatic water, and we have no financial relationship with them. Mentioning a medicine, brand, company or study isn’t an endorsement of it. Brand names such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound are trademarks of their owners, who aren’t affiliated with Peptinote and don’t endorse it.

Accuracy

We cite our sources and fix errors quickly, but we can’t guarantee that every page is complete, current or free of mistakes. Each page reflects its sources on the “Last reviewed” date shown on it. Medical review of our content by a licensed professional is in progress.

If you find something wrong, email hello@peptinote.com. Read how we handle corrections.

Side effects

If you have side effects or think something is wrong, contact your prescriber or pharmacist. You can also report side effects of a medicine to the FDA through MedWatch, its safety information and adverse event reporting program.

Your decisions

Decisions about your health and treatment are yours to make with your prescriber and pharmacist. Never ignore professional advice, or delay getting it, because of something you read on Peptinote.
