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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 0.06 mL | 6 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 200 mcg | 0.12 mL | 12 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 300 mcg | 0.18 mL | 18 units | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Source Reported range per dose, not a label dose. Reports describe 400 to 900 mcg a day in 3 to 14 day courses. Published human studies that name a route used nose drops. Vial math is arithmetic.
How to mix a 5 mg Semax vial
- Wash your hands. Wipe the stopper of the Semax vial and the water vial with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 3 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 1.6667 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 | 100 mcg | 200 mcg | 300 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 2 units | 4 units | 6 units |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 4 units | 8 units | 12 units |
| 3 mL | 1.6667 mg/mL | 6 units | 12 units | 18 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 5 mg vial |
|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 50 doses |
| 200 mcg | 25 doses |
| 300 mcg | 16 doses |
How long the vial lasts depends on how often it is used. The reported frequency for Semax is: 1 to 3 times daily.
Semax 5 mg vial questions
How many units is 100 mcg of Semax from a 5 mg vial?
With 3 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 1.6667 mg/mL. 100 mcg is 0.06 mL, which is 6 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 200 mcg of Semax from a 5 mg vial?
With 3 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 1.6667 mg/mL. 200 mcg is 0.12 mL, which is 12 units on a U-100 syringe.
How many units is 300 mcg of Semax from a 5 mg vial?
With 3 mL of bacteriostatic water the vial is 1.6667 mg/mL. 300 mcg is 0.18 mL, which is 18 units on a U-100 syringe.
How much bacteriostatic water goes in a 5 mg Semax vial?
3 mL is the amount used on this page. It gives 1.6667 mg/mL and puts the doses at 6, 12, 18 units. Any amount works as long as the math is redone for it.
What if I added 1 mL instead of 3 mL?
The vial would be 5 mg/mL instead of 1.6667 mg/mL, so 100 mcg would be 2 units instead of 6. The dose in the syringe is the same; only the volume changes.
How many doses are in a 5 mg Semax vial?
Whole doses in one vial: 50 at 100 mcg, 25 at 200 mcg, 16 at 300 mcg.
