Units per dose at 3.75 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 | 0.267 mL | 26.7 u | U-30 | 15 |
| 2 mg | 0.533 mL | 53.3 u | U-100 | 7 |
| 4 mg | 1.067 mL | 106.7 u | split draw | 3 |
| 6 mg | 1.6 mL | 160 u | split draw | 2 |
| 8 mg | 2.133 mL | 213.3 u | split draw | 1 |
Amber rows exceed 100 units — more than one full U-100 barrel. That dose needs a larger draw or a stronger mix (less water).
How this is calculated
1 · Concentration
15 mg ÷ 4 mL = 3.75 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 2 mg dose
2 mg ÷ 3.75 mg/mL = 0.533 mL
3 · Insulin units
0.533 mL × 100 = 53.3 units
Every unit on the barrel carries 37.5 mcg at this concentration, so misreading by one unit is a 37.5 mcg error.

The interactive calculator draws this 3.75 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 4 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 15 mg Retatrutide vial yields 3.75 mg/mL — 37.5 mcg in every insulin unit. The reconstituted vial holds 400 units of solution in total.
- How many units is a 2 mg dose of Retatrutide at 15 mg in 4 mL?
- 2 mg is 0.533 mL of this mix, which is 53.3 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (a U-100 barrel is enough).
- How many 2 mg doses does a 15 mg vial give?
- A 15 mg vial contains 7 full 2 mg doses. Using more or less bacteriostatic water changes the units you draw, never the number of doses in the vial.
