Reconstitution & Storage

5 mg + 1 mL → 5 mg/mL

Low mg per dose, so 2.5 mL yields convenient unit measurements.

Dosing reference — units to draw

Concentration = peptide mass ÷ bacteriostatic water; units to draw = dose volume (mL) × 100 on a U-100 insulin syringe. Each vial size below is shown at 1 mL, with the units to draw for a typical 2.5–5 mg dose.
