Pramlintide: 0.6 mg vial with 3 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 0.6 mg Pramlintide vial gives 0.2 mg/mL (200 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 2 mcg. A 15 mcg dose is 7.5 units (0.075 mL), and the vial holds about 40 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 0.6 mg Pramlintide
- Bacteriostatic water: 3 mL
- Concentration: 0.2 mg/mL (200 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 2 mcg
Pramlintide dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 mcg (protocol dose) | 7.5 units | 0.075 mL | 40 |
| 50 mcg | 25 units | 0.25 mL | 12 |
| 100 mcg | 50 units | 0.5 mL | 6 |
| 200 mcg | 100 units | 1 mL | 3 |
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL).
Common questions
How many units is 15 mcg of Pramlintide from a 0.6 mg vial with 3 mL water?
15 mcg is 7.5 units (0.075 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 3 mL of water in a 0.6 mg vial, each unit holds 2 mcg. For comparison: 50 mcg = 25 units, 100 mcg = 50 units, 200 mcg = 100 units.
What is the concentration of a 0.6 mg Pramlintide vial mixed with 3 mL of water?
0.6 mg divided by 3 mL is 0.2 mg/mL, or 200 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 2 mcg per unit.
How many 15 mcg doses are in a 0.6 mg vial?
About 40. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
