FAQ
How many units is 1.5 mg?
+
1.5 mg = 1,500 mcg. Units depend on concentration: with a 10 mg vial mixed in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, 1.5 mg is 30 units (0.3 mL) on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 1.5 mg with a 5 mg vial vs a 10 mg vial?
+
Mixed with 2 mL of water: a 5 mg vial gives 60 units, a 10 mg vial gives 30 units. A stronger vial means fewer units for the same dose.
How do I calculate 1.5 mg in units myself?
+
Concentration = vial mg × 1,000 ÷ water mL (in mcg per mL). Volume = 1,500 mcg ÷ concentration. Units = volume × 100 on a U-100 syringe.
