Units per dose at 1.33 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg | 0.188 mL | 18.8 u | U-30 | 8 |
| 500 mcg | 0.375 mL | 37.5 u | U-50 | 4 |
| 1 mg | 0.75 mL | 75 u | U-100 | 2 |
| 1.7 mg | 1.275 mL | 127.5 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
2 mg ÷ 1.5 mL = 1.33 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 1 mg dose
1 mg ÷ 1.33 mg/mL = 0.75 mL
3 · Insulin units
0.75 mL × 100 = 75 units
Every unit on the barrel carries 13.3 mcg at this concentration, so misreading by one unit is a 13.3 mcg error.

The interactive calculator draws this 1.33 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 2 mg Semaglutide vial?
- Adding 1.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 2 mg Semaglutide vial yields 1.33 mg/mL — 13.3 mcg in every insulin unit. The reconstituted vial holds 150 units of solution in total.
- How many units is a 1 mg dose of Semaglutide at 2 mg in 1.5 mL?
- 1 mg is 0.75 mL of this mix, which is 75 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (a U-100 barrel is enough).
- How many 1 mg doses does a 2 mg vial give?
- A 2 mg vial contains 2 full 1 mg doses. Using more or less bacteriostatic water changes the units you draw, never the number of doses in the vial.
