TB-500: 5 mg vial with 3 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg TB-500 vial gives 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 16.7 mcg. A 500 mcg dose is 30 units (0.3 mL), and the vial holds about 10 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 5 mg TB-500
- 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
TB-500 dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 mcg | 3 units | 0.03 mL | 100 |
| 100 mcg | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 50 |
| 200 mcg | 12 units | 0.12 mL | 25 |
| 250 mcg | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 20 |
| 500 mcg (protocol dose) | 30 units | 0.3 mL | 10 |
| 600 mcg (protocol dose) | 36 units | 0.36 mL | 8 |
| 750 mcg (protocol dose) | 45 units | 0.45 mL | 6 |
| 1 mg (protocol dose) | 60 units | 0.6 mL | 5 |

Common questions
How many units is 500 mcg of TB-500 from a 5 mg vial with 3 mL water?
500 mcg is 30 units (0.3 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: 600 mcg = 36 units, 750 mcg = 45 units, 1 mg = 60 units.
What is the concentration of a 5 mg TB-500 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 500 mcg doses are in a 5 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 5 mg TB-500 vial?
3 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen TB-500 protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
