15 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water: units chart

A 15 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water holds 7,500 mcg per mL. This is a middle-strength mix: each unit holds 75 mcg, so most doses in the table land between 2 and 100 units on a 1 mL syringe.

Worked example: 750 mcg

  1. Convert the vial amount to mcg: 15 mg × 1,000 = 15,000 mcg
  2. Concentration: 15,000 mcg ÷ 2 mL = 7,500 mcg/mL (7.5 mg/mL)
  3. Volume to draw: 750 mcg ÷ 7,500 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL
  4. Units to draw: 0.1 mL × 100 units/mL = 10 units
  5. Amount in each unit: 7,500 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 75 mcg per unit (0.075 mg)
  6. Doses in the vial: 15,000 mcg ÷ 750 mcg = 20 full doses

Draw to the 10-unit mark on a U-100 syringe. The same 750 mcg dose is 7.5 units with 1.5 mL of water and 12.5 units with 2.5 mL of water, compared with 10 units with 2 mL.

Frequently asked questions

What is the concentration of a 15 mg vial with 2 mL of water?

A 15 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of water holds 7,500 mcg per mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 75 mcg.

How many units is 750 mcg with a 15 mg vial and 2 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 2 mL of water?

About 150 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 2 mL of water?

7,500 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 15 mg vial with 2 mL of water give?

Divide 15,000 mcg by your dose and round down: 20 full doses of 750 mcg, or 15 of 1,000 mcg.
