VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide): 5 mg vial with 2 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) vial gives 2.5 mg/mL (2500 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 25 mcg. A 50 mcg dose is 2 units (0.02 mL), and the vial holds about 100 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 5 mg VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide)
- Bacteriostatic water: 2 mL
- Concentration: 2.5 mg/mL (2500 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 25 mcg

Common questions
How many units is 50 mcg of VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) from a 5 mg vial with 2 mL water?
50 mcg is 2 units (0.02 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 2 mL of water in a 5 mg vial, each unit holds 25 mcg. For comparison: 100 mcg = 4 units, 200 mcg = 8 units, 250 mcg = 10 units.
What is the concentration of a 5 mg VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) vial mixed with 2 mL of water?
5 mg divided by 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL, or 2500 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 25 mcg per unit.
How many 50 mcg doses are in a 5 mg vial?
About 100. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
