FGL: 5 mg vial with 5 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg FGL vial gives 1 mg/mL (1000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 10 mcg. A 1 mg dose is 100 units (1 mL), and the vial holds about 5 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 5 mg FGL
- Bacteriostatic water: 5 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 1 mg/mL (1000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 10 mcg
FGL dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 100 |
| 100 mcg | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 50 |
| 200 mcg | 20 units | 0.2 mL | 25 |
| 250 mcg | 25 units | 0.25 mL | 20 |
| 300 mcg | 30 units | 0.3 mL | 16 |
| 500 mcg | 50 units | 0.5 mL | 10 |
| 750 mcg | 75 units | 0.75 mL | 6 |
| 1 mg (protocol dose) | 100 units | 1 mL | 5 |

Common questions
How many units is 1 mg of FGL from a 5 mg vial with 5 mL water?
1 mg is 100 units (1 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 5 mL of water in a 5 mg vial, each unit holds 10 mcg. For comparison: 300 mcg = 30 units, 500 mcg = 50 units, 750 mcg = 75 units.
What is the concentration of a 5 mg FGL vial mixed with 5 mL of water?
5 mg divided by 5 mL is 1 mg/mL, or 1000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 10 mcg per unit.
How many 1 mg doses are in a 5 mg vial?
About 5. 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 5 mg FGL vial?
5 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen FGL protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
