15 mg vial + 1 mL bacteriostatic water: units chart
A 15 mg vial mixed with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water holds 15,000 mcg per mL. This is a strong mix: each unit holds 150 mcg, so small doses take up only a few units and are harder to measure. More water would spread them out.
Units to draw
1.7units
Draw 1.7 units on a U-100 syringe, just below the 2-unit mark.
Warning: At 1.7 units this dose is hard to measure. Add more water when you mix the vial so the dose fills at least 2 units.

- Convert the dose to mcgmg × 1,000 = mcg0.25 mg × 1,000 = 250 mcg
- Concentrationvial (mcg) ÷ water (mL) = mcg per mL15,000 mcg ÷ 1 mL = 15,000 mcg/mL (15 mg/mL)
- Volume to drawdose (mcg) ÷ concentration (mcg/mL) = mL250 mcg ÷ 15,000 mcg/mL = 0.0167 mL

Worked example: 1,500 mcg
- Convert the vial amount to mcg: 15 mg × 1,000 = 15,000 mcg
- Concentration: 15,000 mcg ÷ 1 mL = 15,000 mcg/mL (15 mg/mL)
- Volume to draw: 1,500 mcg ÷ 15,000 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL
- Units to draw: 0.1 mL × 100 units/mL = 10 units
- Amount in each unit: 15,000 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 150 mcg per unit (0.15 mg)
- Doses in the vial: 15,000 mcg ÷ 1,500 mcg = 10 full doses
Draw to the 10-unit mark on a U-100 syringe. The same 1,500 mcg dose is 5 units with 0.5 mL of water and 15 units with 1.5 mL of water, compared with 10 units with 1 mL.
Frequently asked questions
What is the concentration of a 15 mg vial with 1 mL of water?
A 15 mg vial mixed with 1 mL of water holds 15,000 mcg per mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 150 mcg.
How many units is 1,500 mcg with a 15 mg vial and 1 mL of water?
It is 10 units on a U-100 syringe, which is 0.1 mL of the mixed liquid.
What is the smallest dose you can measure well with a 15 mg vial and 1 mL of water?
About 300 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 15 mg vial and 1 mL of water?
The whole vial fits: 15,000 mcg is 100 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many doses does a 15 mg vial with 1 mL of water give?
Divide 15,000 mcg by your dose and round down: 10 full doses of 1,500 mcg, or 7 of 2,000 mcg.
