Worked example: 150 mcg
- Convert the vial amount to mcg: 2 mg × 1,000 = 2,000 mcg
- Concentration: 2,000 mcg ÷ 1.5 mL = 1,333.33 mcg/mL (1.33333 mg/mL)
- Volume to draw: 150 mcg ÷ 1,333.33 mcg/mL = 0.1125 mL
- Units to draw: 0.1125 mL × 100 units/mL = 11.3 units
- Amount in each unit: 1,333.33 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 13.33 mcg per unit (0.01333 mg)
- Doses in the vial: 2,000 mcg ÷ 150 mcg = 13 full doses
Draw 11.3 units on a U-100 syringe, between the 10- and 12-unit marks, closer to 12. The same 150 mcg dose is 7.5 units with 1 mL of water and 15 units with 2 mL of water, compared with 11.3 units with 1.5 mL.
Frequently asked questions
What is the concentration of a 2 mg vial with 1.5 mL of water?
A 2 mg vial mixed with 1.5 mL of water holds 1,333.33 mcg per mL. Each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 13.33 mcg.
How many units is 150 mcg with a 2 mg vial and 1.5 mL of water?
It is 11.3 units on a U-100 syringe, which is 0.1125 mL of the mixed liquid.
What is the smallest dose you can measure well with a 2 mg vial and 1.5 mL of water?
About 26.67 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 2 mg vial and 1.5 mL of water?
1,333.33 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 2 mg vial with 1.5 mL of water give?
Divide 2,000 mcg by your dose and round down: 13 full doses of 150 mcg, or 10 of 200 mcg.
