50 mg/mL · 50,000 mcg/mL · 500 mcg per U-100 unit

50 mg vial + 1 mL bacteriostatic water

A 50 mg vial reconstituted with 1 mL comes to 50 mg/mL. Every unit on a U-100 insulin syringe then carries 500 mcg, so 5 mg is 10 units (0.1 mL) and the vial holds 10 draws of that size.

50 mg + 1 mL questions

What concentration is 50 mg in 1 mL?

50 mg divided by 1 mL is 50 mg/mL, which is 50,000 mcg/mL. On a U-100 syringe each unit holds 0.01 mL, so one unit carries 500 mcg.

How many units is 5 mg from a 50 mg vial with 1 mL?

5000 mcg divided by 50,000 mcg/mL is 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a U-100 syringe and 4 units on a U-40 syringe. The vial holds 10 draws of that size.

What if I add 1.5 mL instead of 1 mL to the 50 mg vial?

The mass stays 50 mg. With 1.5 mL the concentration is 33.333 mg/mL instead of 50 mg/mL, so the same amount per draw needs more units: 5 mg becomes 15 units instead of 10.

Does a 50 mg vial hold 1 mL?

Usually. Most lyophilized peptide vials are 2 mL or 3 mL glass, and 1 mL fits with room to swirl. Check the vial if it is an unusually small format.
