Exendin-4: 10 mg vial with 2 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg Exendin-4 vial gives 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 50 mcg. A 50 mcg dose is 1 units (0.01 mL), and the vial holds about 200 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 10 mg Exendin-4
- Bacteriostatic water: 2 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 50 mcg
Exendin-4 dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mcg (protocol dose) | 0.1 units, too small to measure reliably | 0.001 mL | 2000 |
| 50 mcg | 1 units | 0.01 mL | 200 |
| 100 mcg | 2 units | 0.02 mL | 100 |
| 200 mcg | 4 units | 0.04 mL | 50 |
| 250 mcg | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 40 |
| 300 mcg | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 33 |
| 500 mcg | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 20 |
| 750 mcg | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 13 |

Common questions
How many units is 50 mcg of Exendin-4 from a 10 mg vial with 2 mL water?
50 mcg is 1 units (0.01 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 2 mL of water in a 10 mg vial, each unit holds 50 mcg. For comparison: 100 mcg = 2 units, 200 mcg = 4 units, 250 mcg = 5 units.
What is the concentration of a 10 mg Exendin-4 vial mixed with 2 mL of water?
10 mg divided by 2 mL is 5 mg/mL, or 5000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 50 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 Exendin-4 vial?
2 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen Exendin-4 protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
