Liraglutide: 6 mg vial with 1 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 6 mg Liraglutide vial gives 6 mg/mL (6000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 60 mcg. A 600 mcg dose is 10 units (0.1 mL), and the vial holds about 10 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 6 mg Liraglutide
- Bacteriostatic water: 1 mL
- Concentration: 6 mg/mL (6000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 60 mcg
Liraglutide dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 1.7 units | 0.017 mL | 60 |
| 200 mcg | 3.3 units | 0.033 mL | 30 |
| 250 mcg | 4.2 units | 0.042 mL | 24 |
| 300 mcg | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 20 |
| 500 mcg | 8.3 units | 0.083 mL | 12 |
| 600 mcg (protocol dose) | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 10 |
| 1.2 mg (protocol dose) | 20 units | 0.2 mL | 5 |
| 1.8 mg (protocol dose) | 30 units | 0.3 mL | 3 |

Common questions
How many units is 600 mcg of Liraglutide from a 6 mg vial with 1 mL water?
600 mcg is 10 units (0.1 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 1 mL of water in a 6 mg vial, each unit holds 60 mcg. For comparison: 500 mcg = 8.3 units, 1.2 mg = 20 units, 1.8 mg = 30 units.
What is the concentration of a 6 mg Liraglutide vial mixed with 1 mL of water?
6 mg divided by 1 mL is 6 mg/mL, or 6000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 60 mcg per unit.
How many 600 mcg doses are in a 6 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 6 mg Liraglutide vial?
The Crestigen Liraglutide protocol uses 3 mL. 1 mL works too as long as you calculate units for this concentration (6 mg/mL) and label the vial.
