Cagrilintide: 10 mg vial with 3 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg Cagrilintide vial gives 3.33 mg/mL (3333.3 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 33.3 mcg. A 50 mcg dose is 1.5 units (0.015 mL), and the vial holds about 200 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 10 mg Cagrilintide
- Bacteriostatic water: 3 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 3.33 mg/mL (3333.3 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 33.3 mcg
Cagrilintide dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6 mcg (protocol dose) | 0 units, too small to measure reliably | 0 mL | 16666 |
| 1.2 mcg (protocol dose) | 0 units, too small to measure reliably | 0 mL | 8333 |
| 2.4 mcg (protocol dose) | 0.1 units, too small to measure reliably | 0.001 mL | 4166 |
| 4.5 mcg (protocol dose) | 0.1 units, too small to measure reliably | 0.001 mL | 2222 |
| 50 mcg | 1.5 units | 0.015 mL | 200 |
| 100 mcg | 3 units | 0.03 mL | 100 |
| 200 mcg | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 50 |
| 250 mcg | 7.5 units | 0.075 mL | 40 |

Common questions
How many units is 50 mcg of Cagrilintide from a 10 mg vial with 3 mL water?
50 mcg is 1.5 units (0.015 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 3 mL of water in a 10 mg vial, each unit holds 33.3 mcg. For comparison: 100 mcg = 3 units, 200 mcg = 6 units, 250 mcg = 7.5 units.
What is the concentration of a 10 mg Cagrilintide vial mixed with 3 mL of water?
10 mg divided by 3 mL is 3.33 mg/mL, or 3333.3 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 33.3 mcg per unit.
How many 50 mcg doses are in a 10 mg vial?
About 200. 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 10 mg Cagrilintide vial?
3 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen Cagrilintide protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
