Units per dose at 7.5 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 | 0.133 mL | 13.3 u | U-30 | 30 |
| 2 mg | 0.267 mL | 26.7 u | U-30 | 15 |
| 4 mg | 0.533 mL | 53.3 u | U-100 | 7 |
| 6 mg | 0.8 mL | 80 u | U-100 | 5 |
| 8 mg | 1.067 mL | 106.7 u | split draw | 3 |
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
30 mg ÷ 4 mL = 7.5 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 6 mg dose
6 mg ÷ 7.5 mg/mL = 0.8 mL
3 · Insulin units
0.8 mL × 100 = 80 units
Every unit on the barrel carries 75 mcg at this concentration, so misreading by one unit is a 75 mcg error.

The interactive calculator draws this 7.5 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 30 mg Retatrutide vial?
- Adding 4 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 30 mg Retatrutide vial yields 7.5 mg/mL — 75 mcg in every insulin unit. The reconstituted vial holds 400 units of solution in total.
- How many units is a 6 mg dose of Retatrutide at 30 mg in 4 mL?
- 6 mg is 0.8 mL of this mix, which is 80 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (a U-100 barrel is enough).
- How many 6 mg doses does a 30 mg vial give?
- A 30 mg vial contains 5 full 6 mg doses. Using more or less bacteriostatic water changes the units you draw, never the number of doses in the vial.
