- Weight-management research
Dosing Structure
Dose
300 mcg daily (or 250 mcg BID)
Frequency
Once Or Twice Daily, Fasted
Notes
1x Daily: 300-600mcg taken first thing in the morning, fasted. 2x Daily: 250mcg taken directly before bed and first thing in the morning, fasted. Inject: Abdomen, thigh. AOD-9604 should be reconstituted with a mix of Bacteriostatic Water and Acetic Acid to prevent gelling (2.5ml/0.5ml BAC to AA recommended). Break: 1-2 months between cycles.
