Reconstitution & Storage
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.
| Vial | BAC water | Concentration | Units to draw |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50–100 units |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 25–50 units |
| 20 mg | 1 mL | 20 mg/mL | 12.5–25 units |
Lyophilized: freezer or fridge. Reconstituted: 2-8°C, 4 weeks.
