25 mg/mL · 25,000 mcg/mL · 250 mcg per U-100 unit

50 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water

A 50 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL comes to 25 mg/mL. Every unit on a U-100 insulin syringe then carries 250 mcg, so 5 mg is 20 units (0.2 mL) and the vial holds 10 draws of that size.

50 mg + 2 mL questions

What concentration is 50 mg in 2 mL?

50 mg divided by 2 mL is 25 mg/mL, which is 25,000 mcg/mL. On a U-100 syringe each unit holds 0.01 mL, so one unit carries 250 mcg.

How many units is 5 mg from a 50 mg vial with 2 mL?

5000 mcg divided by 25,000 mcg/mL is 0.2 mL, which is 20 units on a U-100 syringe and 8 units on a U-40 syringe. The vial holds 10 draws of that size.

What if I add 2.5 mL instead of 2 mL to the 50 mg vial?

The mass stays 50 mg. With 2.5 mL the concentration is 20 mg/mL instead of 25 mg/mL, so the same amount per draw needs more units: 5 mg becomes 25 units instead of 20.

Does a 50 mg vial hold 2 mL?

Usually. Most lyophilized peptide vials are 2 mL or 3 mL glass, and 2 mL fits with room to swirl. Check the vial if it is an unusually small format.
