Worked example: 600 mcg

  1. Convert the vial amount to mcg: 10 mg × 1,000 = 10,000 mcg
  2. Concentration: 10,000 mcg ÷ 1.5 mL = 6,666.67 mcg/mL (6.66667 mg/mL)
  3. Volume to draw: 600 mcg ÷ 6,666.67 mcg/mL = 0.09 mL
  4. Units to draw: 0.09 mL × 100 units/mL = 9 units
  5. Amount in each unit: 6,666.67 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 66.67 mcg per unit (0.06667 mg)
  6. Doses in the vial: 10,000 mcg ÷ 600 mcg = 16 full doses

Draw 9 units on a U-100 syringe, halfway between the 8- and 10-unit marks. The same 600 mcg dose is 6 units with 1 mL of water and 12 units with 2 mL of water, compared with 9 units with 1.5 mL.

Frequently asked questions

What is the concentration of a 10 mg vial with 1.5 mL of water?

A 10 mg vial mixed with 1.5 mL of water holds 6,666.67 mcg per mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 66.67 mcg.

How many units is 600 mcg with a 10 mg vial and 1.5 mL of water?

It is 9 units on a U-100 syringe, which is 0.09 mL of the mixed liquid.

What is the smallest dose you can measure well with a 10 mg vial and 1.5 mL of water?

About 133.33 mcg, which fills 2 units on a U-100 syringe. Smaller amounts are hard to read; a vial mixed with more water spreads them over more units.

What is the largest dose that fits a 1 mL syringe with a 10 mg vial and 1.5 mL of water?

6,666.67 mcg, which fills all 100 units of a 1 mL U-100 syringe. Larger doses need more than one draw or a stronger mix.

How many doses does a 10 mg vial with 1.5 mL of water give?

Divide 10,000 mcg by your dose and round down: 16 full doses of 600 mcg, or 13 of 750 mcg.
