7.5 mg/mL · 7,500 mcg/mL · 75 mcg per U-100 unit

15 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water

A 15 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL comes to 7.5 mg/mL. Every unit on a U-100 insulin syringe then carries 75 mcg, so 500 mcg is 6.7 units (0.067 mL) and the vial holds 30 draws of that size.

15 mg + 2 mL questions

What concentration is 15 mg in 2 mL?

15 mg divided by 2 mL is 7.5 mg/mL, which is 7,500 mcg/mL. On a U-100 syringe each unit holds 0.01 mL, so one unit carries 75 mcg.

How many units is 500 mcg from a 15 mg vial with 2 mL?

500 mcg divided by 7,500 mcg/mL is 0.067 mL, which is 6.7 units on a U-100 syringe and 2.7 units on a U-40 syringe. The vial holds 30 draws of that size.

What if I add 2.5 mL instead of 2 mL to the 15 mg vial?

The mass stays 15 mg. With 2.5 mL the concentration is 6 mg/mL instead of 7.5 mg/mL, so the same amount per draw needs more units: 500 mcg becomes 8.3 units instead of 6.7.

Does a 15 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.
