MGF (5 mg): 5 mg vial with 3 mL water

Quick answer

Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg MGF (5 mg) vial gives 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 16.7 mcg. A 100 mcg dose is 6 units (0.06 mL), and the vial holds about 50 doses of that size.

Concentration

• Vial: 5 mg MGF (5 mg)
• Bacteriostatic water: 3 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
• Concentration: 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL)
• 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 16.7 mcg

Common questions

How many units is 100 mcg of MGF (5 mg) from a 5 mg vial with 3 mL water?

100 mcg is 6 units (0.06 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 3 mL of water in a 5 mg vial, each unit holds 16.7 mcg. For comparison: 50 mcg = 3 units, 200 mcg = 12 units, 250 mcg = 15 units.

What is the concentration of a 5 mg MGF (5 mg) vial mixed with 3 mL of water?

5 mg divided by 3 mL is 1.67 mg/mL, or 1666.7 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 16.7 mcg per unit.

How many 100 mcg doses are in a 5 mg vial?

About 50. 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 MGF (5 mg) vial?

3 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen MGF (5 mg) protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
