How much bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Sermorelin vial?

The amount of water does not change how much Sermorelin is in the vial; it sets the concentration. With 1 mL a 5 mg vial is 5 mg/mL, with 2 mL it is 2.5 mg/mL and with 3 mL it is 1.667 mg/mL. More water makes each unit weaker, so a given amount takes more units to draw.

How many mcg are in one unit of a 5 mg Sermorelin vial?

With 2 mL of water, one unit on a U-100 syringe holds 25 mcg (2,500 mcg per mL divided by 100). The table above gives the figure for other vial sizes and volumes.

Is this a Sermorelin dosage calculator?

It converts between amounts, volumes and syringe units for Sermorelin; it does not suggest how much to use. The Sermorelin guide lists the doses used in published studies, with their sources.

What size are Sermorelin vials?

Across 281 listings in our directory, the most common sizes are 5 mg, 10 mg, 2 mg, 50 mg. Sizes and prices by store are on the Sermorelin price page.

How many units are in 1 mL on an insulin syringe?

A U-100 insulin syringe holds 100 units per mL, so 1 unit is 0.01 mL.

Sermorelin dosage calculator

Pick a Sermorelin vial size, enter the bacteriostatic water added and, if you want, an amount per draw. The calculator gives the concentration and how many units that is on a U-100 insulin syringe. It does arithmetic only and does not suggest an amount.

U-100 syringes · 100 units = 1 mL · 1 mg = 1,000 mcg

Concentration

2.5 mg/mL

25 mcg per unit on a U-100 syringe · 250 mcg per 0.1 mL

Enter an amount per draw to see how many units it is and how many draws the vial holds.

Worked example

A 5 mg Sermorelin vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL). One unit on a U-100 syringe is 0.01 mL, so each unit holds 25 mcg. To find how many units an amount is, divide the amount in mcg by 25.
