- 5mg
- 1mL
- 5mg/mL (5,000mcg/mL)
- 0.05mL (5 units)
- 0.1mL (10 units)
- 20 doses (250mcg) or 10 doses (500mcg)
- Best for low-dose protocols. Smallest injection volumes, highest precision on standard syringes
- 2mL
- 2.5mg/mL (2,500mcg/mL)
- 0.2mL (20 units)
- Balanced option. Easier to measure on insulin syringes without requiring fractional units
- 10mg
- 40 doses (250mcg) or 20 doses (500mcg)
- Ideal for extended protocols. Double the doses per vial while maintaining high concentration
- 5mL
- 2mg/mL (2,000mcg/mL)
- 0.125mL (12.5 units)
- 0.25mL (25 units)
- Best for higher-dose protocols (500mcg+). Larger volumes reduce measurement error at the upper range
