Cartalax: 20 mg vial with 1 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 20 mg Cartalax vial gives 20 mg/mL (20000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 200 mcg. A 2 mg dose is 10 units (0.1 mL), and the vial holds about 10 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 20 mg Cartalax
- Bacteriostatic water: 1 mL
- Concentration: 20 mg/mL (20000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 200 mcg
Cartalax dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 mcg | 1 units | 0.01 mL | 100 |
| 250 mcg | 1.3 units | 0.013 mL | 80 |
| 300 mcg | 1.5 units | 0.015 mL | 66 |
| 500 mcg | 2.5 units | 0.025 mL | 40 |
| 2 mg (protocol dose) | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 10 |
| 3 mg (protocol dose) | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 6 |
| 4 mg (protocol dose) | 20 units | 0.2 mL | 5 |
| 5 mg (protocol dose) | 25 units | 0.25 mL | 4 |

Common questions
How many units is 2 mg of Cartalax from a 20 mg vial with 1 mL water?
2 mg is 10 units (0.1 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 1 mL of water in a 20 mg vial, each unit holds 200 mcg. For comparison: 3 mg = 15 units, 4 mg = 20 units, 5 mg = 25 units.
What is the concentration of a 20 mg Cartalax vial mixed with 1 mL of water?
20 mg divided by 1 mL is 20 mg/mL, or 20000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 200 mcg per unit.
How many 2 mg doses are in a 20 mg vial?
About 10. 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 20 mg Cartalax vial?
The Crestigen Cartalax protocol uses 3 mL. 1 mL works too as long as you calculate units for this concentration (20 mg/mL) and label the vial.
