Three U-100 insulin syringes with teal liquid on a dark surface
Step 04 / Calculate a dose

Peptide calculator

Pick a compound. We'll show the reconstitution math, syringe draw, cost per dose, and how long a vial lasts.

Common questions

What does this calculator do?

It turns three numbers you enter, the milligrams in the vial, the water you add, and the dose you want, into the concentration, the syringe draw in units, and the cost per dose. It does arithmetic. It does not recommend a dose.

Worked example?

A 5 mg vial with 2 mL of water is 2.5 mg per mL. A 250 mcg dose is 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

Does adding more water give me more drug?

No. The vial holds a fixed amount. More water spreads it thinner, so the same dose is a larger draw on the syringe.

What syringe does it assume?

A U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units is 1 mL. If your syringe is different, use the mL figure instead of the units figure.

Where does the "reference range" come from?

From the drug label, a published trial, or community practice, and it is labeled with which. It is the range a source used, not a recommendation. Talk to a licensed clinician before using any substance.
