Common questions
What's a U-100 syringe?
The standard insulin syringe. It's marked in units, and 100 units equals 1 mL, so 10 units is 0.1 mL. A 0.3 mL syringe holds 30 units, a 0.5 mL holds 50 and a 1 mL holds 100.
Why does the amount of water matter?
Water doesn't change how much peptide is in the vial, only how concentrated it is. More water means a larger volume for the same dose, which is easier to read on a small syringe. Less water means a smaller, more concentrated draw.
My vial is labeled in IU, not mg.
IU-to-mg conversions are specific to each compound, so there's no general rule. Use the conversion in the documentation that came with your vial before entering numbers here.
