Concentration for common vial sizes at 1, 2, 3 and 5 mL of water, with the amount held in every 10 units of a U-100 syringe.
| Vial | 1 mL water | 2 mL water | 3 mL water | 5 mL water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 2 mg/mL · 0.2 mg (200 mcg) per 10 units | 1 mg/mL · 0.1 mg (100 mcg) per 10 units | 0.6667 mg/mL · 0.06667 mg (66.67 mcg) per 10 units | 0.4 mg/mL · 0.04 mg (40 mcg) per 10 units |
| 5 mg | 5 mg/mL · 0.5 mg (500 mcg) per 10 units | 2.5 mg/mL · 0.25 mg (250 mcg) per 10 units | 1.667 mg/mL · 0.1667 mg (166.7 mcg) per 10 units | 1 mg/mL · 0.1 mg (100 mcg) per 10 units |
| 10 mg | 10 mg/mL · 1 mg per 10 units | 5 mg/mL · 0.5 mg (500 mcg) per 10 units | 3.333 mg/mL · 0.3333 mg (333.3 mcg) per 10 units | 2 mg/mL · 0.2 mg (200 mcg) per 10 units |
Units per 1 mg of AOD-9604
How many units on a U-100 syringe hold 1 mg, for each vial size and water volume. 1 mg is a round reference amount for scaling, not a dose: multiply or divide to match the dose on your prescription, or use the calculator.
| Vial | 1 mL water | 2 mL water | 3 mL water | 5 mL water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 50 units | 100 units | 150 units · over 1 mL | 250 units · over 1 mL |
| 5 mg | 20 units | 40 units | 60 units | 100 units |
| 10 mg | 10 units | 20 units | 30 units | 50 units |
Questions
How do I calculate AOD-9604 units on a syringe?
Divide the mg in the vial by the mL of water added to get mg/mL. Divide your prescribed dose by that figure for mL, then multiply by 100 for units on a U-100 syringe. For example, a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of water is 2.5 mg/mL, so every 10 units holds 0.25 mg (250 mcg).
How many units is 1 mg of AOD-9604?
It depends on the vial size and the water added. With a 5 mg vial, 1 mg is 20 units after 1 mL of water, 40 units after 2 mL of water, 60 units after 3 mL of water. The lookup table above covers the other vial sizes.
Is AOD-9604 measured in mg or mcg?
AOD-9604 vials are labelled in mg. If your prescription is written in mcg, divide by 1,000 to get mg, or switch the dose field to mcg. In a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL, one unit on the syringe holds 0.025 mg (25 mcg).
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to AOD-9604?
Follow the amount on your pharmacy label. The volume of water does not change how much AOD-9604 is in the vial; it only changes how many units a given dose takes up. Enter whatever amount was actually added.
What AOD-9604 dose should I enter?
The dose written on your prescription. This page converts a dose into syringe units and does not recommend one.
