Driada Medical has the lowest midpoint of any large range we carry — £55 across 86 lines — which makes it the brand people reach for when budgeting. But headline price per vial tells you almost nothing about what a cycle costs. This page shows how to work it out properly, including the parts most people leave out.
Why per-vial price misleads
Three things break the comparison:
- Concentration varies. A £50 vial at 250mg/ml and a £60 vial at 400mg/ml are not 20% apart — the second is cheaper per mg.
- Volume varies. A 10ml vial against a 5ml at similar price is a factor of two that the listing does not shout about.
- Half-life sets consumption. A short-ester compound consumes far more product per week than a long-ester one at the same weekly dose.
The calculation
- Total mg needed = weekly dose × weeks.
- mg per vial = concentration × volume. A 250mg/ml 10ml vial is 2,500mg.
- Vials required = total mg ÷ mg per vial, rounded up.
- Compound cost = vials × price.
- Add the ancillaries. This is the step people skip.
The costs people forget
A cycle is not just the compound. Budget for:
- Oestrogen control for aromatising compounds — see aromatase inhibitors
- Post-cycle therapy — PCT is not optional if you want your own production back, and it is a real line item
- Injection consumables — needles, syringes, swabs
- Blood work — before, during and after. Usually the single largest non-compound cost, and the one that actually protects you
People routinely budget for the compound and not for the recovery. That is how cycles end badly — not because the product was wrong, but because the plan stopped at the last injection.
What Driada offers against that
Eighty-six lines from our EU warehouse, £17–£225. The range is unusually peptide-weighted for a general brand — Ipamorelin, GHRP, CJC-1295, BPC-157, TB-500, PEG-MGF, Melanotan 2 — alongside conventional anabolics and two somatropin presentations topping out at £225.
The low midpoint is real, but check concentration per line before assuming it holds for the specific compound you want.
Two listings you cannot order
Being straight about a fault on our side: BPC-157 2mg and one other Driada peptide currently show no price and cannot be added to a basket. They are in stock — contact us for manual pricing while we fix the listings. Other brands in the BPC-157 category are unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Is Driada Medical the cheapest brand you stock?
It has the lowest midpoint among the large ranges, which is not the same thing. Per mg on a specific compound, another brand may well beat it — do the arithmetic for what you actually want.
How much should I budget for blood work?
It varies by panel and provider, but treat it as a fixed cost of the cycle rather than an optional extra. It is the only part of the budget that tells you whether anything is going wrong.
Why is a “medical” brand so peptide-heavy?
It reflects what we stock rather than the manufacturer’s full catalogue. The current list is on the Driada Medical page.
