Semaglutide: 5 mg vial with 1 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg Semaglutide vial gives 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 50 mcg. A 250 mcg dose is 5 units (0.05 mL), and the vial holds about 20 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 5 mg Semaglutide
- Bacteriostatic water: 1 mL
- Concentration: 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 50 mcg
Semaglutide dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 1 units | 0.01 mL | 100 |
| 100 mcg | 2 units | 0.02 mL | 50 |
| 200 mcg | 4 units | 0.04 mL | 25 |
| 250 mcg (protocol dose) | 5 units | 0.05 mL | 20 |
| 300 mcg | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 16 |
| 500 mcg (protocol dose) | 10 units | 0.1 mL | 10 |
| 1 mg (protocol dose) | 20 units | 0.2 mL | 5 |
| 1.7 mg (protocol dose) | 34 units | 0.34 mL | 2 |

Common questions
How many units is 250 mcg of Semaglutide from a 5 mg vial with 1 mL water?
250 mcg is 5 units (0.05 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 1 mL of water in a 5 mg vial, each unit holds 50 mcg. For comparison: 500 mcg = 10 units, 1 mg = 20 units, 1.7 mg = 34 units.
What is the concentration of a 5 mg Semaglutide vial mixed with 1 mL of water?
5 mg divided by 1 mL is 5 mg/mL, or 5000 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 50 mcg per unit.
How many 250 mcg doses are in a 5 mg vial?
About 20. 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 Semaglutide vial?
The Crestigen Semaglutide protocol uses 2 mL. 1 mL works too as long as you calculate units for this concentration (5 mg/mL) and label the vial.
