Epitalon concentration chart
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 50 mg | 50 mg/mL · 5 mg per 10 units | 25 mg/mL · 2.5 mg per 10 units | 16.67 mg/mL · 1.667 mg per 10 units | 10 mg/mL · 1 mg per 10 units |
Units per 1 mg of Epitalon
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 10 units | 20 units | 30 units | 50 units |
| 50 mg | 2 units | 4 units | 6 units | 10 units |
Questions
How do I calculate Epitalon 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 50 mg vial with 2 mL of water is 25 mg/mL, so every 10 units holds 2.5 mg.
How many units is 1 mg of Epitalon?
It depends on the vial size and the water added. With a 50 mg vial, 1 mg is 2 units after 1 mL of water, 4 units after 2 mL of water, 6 units after 3 mL of water. The lookup table above covers the other vial sizes.
Is Epitalon measured in mg or mcg?
Epitalon 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 50 mg vial mixed with 2 mL, one unit on the syringe holds 0.25 mg (250 mcg).
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to Epitalon?
Follow the amount on your pharmacy label. The volume of water does not change how much Epitalon is in the vial; it only changes how many units a given dose takes up. Enter whatever amount was actually added.
What Epitalon dose should I enter?
The dose written on your prescription. This page converts a dose into syringe units and does not recommend one.
