Liraglutide: 6 mg vial with 3 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 6 mg Liraglutide vial gives 2 mg/mL (2000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 20 mcg. A 600 mcg dose is 30 units (0.3 mL), and the vial holds about 10 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 6 mg Liraglutide
- Bacteriostatic water: 3 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 2 mg/mL (2000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 20 mcg
Liraglutide dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 2.5 units | 0.025 mL | 120 |
| 100 mcg | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 60 |
| 200 mcg | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 30 |
| 250 mcg | 12.5 units | 0.125 mL | 24 |
| 300 mcg | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 20 |
| 600 mcg (protocol dose) | 30 units | 0.3 mL | 10 |
| 1.2 mg (protocol dose) | 60 units | 0.6 mL | 5 |
| 1.8 mg (protocol dose) | 90 units | 0.9 mL | 3 |

Common questions
How many units is 600 mcg of Liraglutide from a 6 mg vial with 3 mL water?
600 mcg is 30 units (0.3 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 3 mL of water in a 6 mg vial, each unit holds 20 mcg. For comparison: 300 mcg = 15 units, 1.2 mg = 60 units, 1.8 mg = 90 units.
What is the concentration of a 6 mg Liraglutide vial mixed with 3 mL of water?
6 mg divided by 3 mL is 2 mg/mL, or 2000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 20 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?
3 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen Liraglutide protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
