5-Amino-1-MQ: 50 mg vial with 4 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 4 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 50 mg 5-Amino-1-MQ vial gives 12.5 mg/mL (12500 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 125 mcg. A 2.5 mg dose is 20 units (0.2 mL), and the vial holds about 20 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 50 mg 5-Amino-1-MQ
- Bacteriostatic water: 4 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 12.5 mg/mL (12500 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 125 mcg
5-Amino-1-MQ dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 mcg | 1.6 units | 0.016 mL | 250 |
| 250 mcg | 2 units | 0.02 mL | 200 |
| 300 mcg | 2.4 units | 0.024 mL | 166 |
| 500 mcg | 4 units | 0.04 mL | 100 |
| 750 mcg | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 66 |
| 1 mg | 8 units | 0.08 mL | 50 |
| 2.5 mg (protocol dose) | 20 units | 0.2 mL | 20 |
| 5 mg (protocol dose) | 40 units | 0.4 mL | 10 |

Common questions
How many units is 2.5 mg of 5-Amino-1-MQ from a 50 mg vial with 4 mL water?
2.5 mg is 20 units (0.2 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 4 mL of water in a 50 mg vial, each unit holds 125 mcg. For comparison: 750 mcg = 6 units, 1 mg = 8 units, 5 mg = 40 units.
What is the concentration of a 50 mg 5-Amino-1-MQ vial mixed with 4 mL of water?
50 mg divided by 4 mL is 12.5 mg/mL, or 12500 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 125 mcg per unit.
How many 2.5 mg doses are in a 50 mg vial?
About 20. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
How much water should I add to a 50 mg 5-Amino-1-MQ vial?
4 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen 5-Amino-1-MQ protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
