ARA-290 10 mg vial: mixing and syringe units
A 10 mg vial of ARA-290 mixed with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water is 10 mg/mL. At that strength 1 mg is 10 units on a U-100 syringe and 8 mg is 80 units. The doses on this page are the doses given in human trials, because there is no approved label.

Each row is one dose, the volume to draw and where that sits on a U-100 insulin syringe. The last three columns show which syringe sizes can hold it in one draw.
| Dose | Volume | Syringe units | 0.3 mL syringe | 0.5 mL syringe | 1 mL syringe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg | 0.10 mL | 10 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 4 mg | 0.40 mL | 40 units | No | Yes | Yes |
| 8 mg | 0.80 mL | 80 units | No | No | Yes |

How to mix a 10 mg ARA-290 vial
- Wash your hands. Wipe the stopper of the ARA-290 vial and the water vial with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Push the needle through the stopper of the peptide vial and let the water run slowly down the glass, not straight onto the powder.
- Swirl the vial gently until the powder is gone. Do not shake it.
- Write the date and 10 mg/mL on the vial, then put it in the fridge.
If you add a different amount of water
More water makes each dose a bigger, easier draw. Less water makes it smaller. The milligrams in the vial do not change.
| Water added | Concentration | 1 mg | 4 mg | 8 mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 10 units | 40 units | 80 units |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 units | 80 units | 160 units |
| 3 mL | 3.3333 mg/mL | 30 units | 120 units | 240 units |
The marked row is the amount used in the chart above. Red cells are draws under 5 units, which are hard to read, or over 100 units, which one 1 mL syringe cannot hold.
How many doses are in the vial
| Dose | Whole doses in a 10 mg vial |
|---|---|
| 1 mg | 10 doses |
| 4 mg | 2 doses |
| 8 mg | 1 dose |
How long the vial lasts depends on how often it is used. The reported frequency for ARA-290 is: once daily for 28 days.
ARA-290 10 mg vial questions
How many units is 1 mg of ARA-290 from a 10 mg vial?
With 1 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 10 mg/mL. 1 mg is 0.10 mL, which is 10 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 4 mg of ARA-290 from a 10 mg vial?
With 1 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 10 mg/mL. 4 mg is 0.40 mL, which is 40 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 8 mg of ARA-290 from a 10 mg vial?
With 1 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 10 mg/mL. 8 mg is 0.80 mL, which is 80 units on a U-100 syringe.
How much bacteriostatic water goes in a 10 mg ARA-290 vial?
1 mL is the amount used on this page. It gives 10 mg/mL and puts the doses at 10, 40, 80 units. Any amount works as long as the math is redone for it.
What if I added 2 mL instead of 1 mL?
The vial would be 5 mg/mL instead of 10 mg/mL, so 1 mg would be 20 units instead of 10. The dose in the syringe is the same; only the volume changes.
How many doses are in a 10 mg ARA-290 vial?
Whole doses in one vial: 10 at 1 mg, 2 at 4 mg, 1 at 8 mg.
