Actually I am confused too.... Shouldn't 50x5=250 then divided by 5 = 50 then divided by 2 = 25 days.....
Oh.... But an iu is a different form of measurement than the marks on the syringe, right? So if each tick on the syringe = 2iu's, then for 5iu's (which equals the 100mcg dose) I would pull to the second tick and then half past the second tick. So every # by 5 on the syringe equals 10iu's or two doses or 1 full day of doses at two a day. 50 ticks on a syringe divided by 10ius = 5 days per syringe full x 5 syringe fulls of BW = 25 days worth. I don't know if that is right, or if I explained it like it is in my head... But that makes sense to me.
Otherwise.... I don't know... I drew to the #5 on my syringe which is numbered by 5's to the number 50.... So 5,10,15,20 etc.... With 4 ticks between each number, so ||||5||||10||||15||||20 etc... To 50. And I finished the bottle after 10 days, or 20 doses. Is there that much waste in the syringe? I am not sure I get this either.... Math is by far my weakest skill.....
