help with dosage

[della101]

Can someone help me, can't figure this out..I'm now using a 1ml syringe, i'm using the peptide calculator and its saying that each tick mark is 2 units, if each tick mark was two units wouldn't that make the syringe a 2 cc or 200 unit syringe???

Anyway I need the doses for 0.5mg and 1 mg dosage on a 1 cc syringe.. i reconstituted with 2 ml of bac water.. thanks.

10units(0.5mg) 20units(1mg) there is 100units on a 1ml insulin syringe. There is 50 ticks on the syringe and each tick is 2units.

I appreciate the response, but I'm sorry I still don't understand what are tick marks? Is every black line a tick mark because there are 100 black lines on my syringe. Where does 50 tick marks come from?

Most 1ml (100 unit) syringes (such as by the likes of Terumo and BD) have 50 lines, usually with a thicker line at each 0.1ml (10 unit) mark.


If in your case you have a 1ml syringe with 100 lines, each line would represent 1 unit.


So as D3 stated, if you have re-constituted 10mg peptide with 2ml bac water, 0.5mg dose would be at 10 units and 1mg would be at 20 units.
