Units per dose at 30 mg/mL
Insulin syringes are graduated in hundredths of a millilitre, so units = mL × 100 on a U-100, U-50 or U-30 barrel alike.
| Dose | Volume | U-100 units | Fits | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg | 0.033 mL | 3.3 u | U-30 | 15 |
| 2 mg | 0.067 mL | 6.7 u | U-30 | 7 |
| 4 mg | 0.133 mL | 13.3 u | U-30 | 3 |
| 6 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 u | U-30 | 2 |
| 8 mg | 0.267 mL | 26.7 u | U-30 | 1 |
How this is calculated
1 · Concentration
15 mg ÷ 0.5 mL = 30 mg/mL
The peptide mass never changes — bacteriostatic water only sets how concentrated the solution is, and therefore how far the plunger travels.
2 · Volume for a 8 mg dose
8 mg ÷ 30 mg/mL = 0.267 mL
3 · Insulin units
0.267 mL × 100 = 26.7 units
Every unit on the barrel carries 300 mcg at this concentration, so misreading by one unit is a 300 mcg error.

The interactive calculator draws this 30 mg/mL mix on a scaled U-100 barrel, shows when a draw lands exactly on a printed tick, and works backwards from a target dose to the water volume that makes it land cleanly.

- How much bacteriostatic water for a 15 mg Retatrutide vial?
- Adding 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 15 mg Retatrutide vial yields 30 mg/mL — 300 mcg in every insulin unit. The reconstituted vial holds 50 units of solution in total.
- How many units is a 8 mg dose of Retatrutide at 15 mg in 0.5 mL?
- 8 mg is 0.267 mL of this mix, which is 26.7 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (a U-30 barrel is enough).
- How many 8 mg doses does a 15 mg vial give?
- A 15 mg vial contains 1 full 8 mg doses. Using more or less bacteriostatic water changes the units you draw, never the number of doses in the vial.
