Common questions

Divide the milligrams in the vial by the millilitres of water added to get mg/mL. Divide the dose in mg by that to get mL. Multiply by 100 to get units on a U-100 syringe.

No. Syringe units measure volume: 100 units is 1 mL. IU measures how active a substance is and is different for every substance.

Any amount works if the math is done for it. Each dosage page gives an amount for each vial size that puts the doses on readable lines.

Because units depend on the vial size and the water. 250 mcg is 5 units from a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 mL, and 10 units from a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL.

The numbers in the chart are what people report using. No human trial has tested them and no regulator has approved them. The page lists whatever human studies do exist.

The doses were given to people in a published study, and the study is linked. No regulator has approved the product, so there is no label.

The US status is checked against Drugs@FDA and the Canadian status against Health Canada's Drug Product Database. Each page shows the date it was checked.

Because no human dose exists for that peptide. The page says what the research covers instead of filling the gap with a number.

Every page shows a last-checked date and a change log. When a label or a status changes, the data is updated and every page that uses it changes with it.

No. This site shows what labels, trials and reports say, and how the vial math works. A licensed professional who knows your health is the person to ask about a dose.

A U-100 insulin syringe. The vial-size pages also show whether each dose fits a 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL or 1 mL syringe.
