FAQ
How many units is 10 mg?
+
10 mg = 10,000 mcg. Units depend on concentration: with a 20 mg vial mixed in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, 10 mg is 100 units (1 mL) on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 10 mg with a 5 mg vial vs a 10 mg vial?
+
Mixed with 2 mL of water: a 5 mg vial gives 400 units, a 10 mg vial gives 200 units. A stronger vial means fewer units for the same dose.
How do I calculate 10 mg in units myself?
+
Concentration = vial mg × 1,000 ÷ water mL (in mcg per mL). Volume = 10,000 mcg ÷ concentration. Units = volume × 100 on a U-100 syringe.
