VIP Dosage Calculator

Enter the vial size, how much bacteriostatic water was added, and the dose — this returns the exact draw on a U-100 insulin syringe, the resulting concentration, and how many doses a vial yields.

U-100 syringe: 100 units = 1 mL. Figures are arithmetic from the vial size, diluent volume and dose entered — presets reflect community-reported and published protocols for research context, not a recommendation. Verify against your own vial label.

Documented VIP protocols

The presets above come from these commonly reported protocols. They are reported for research context, not as a recommendation.

How the math works

Concentration = vial size (mg) ÷ bacteriostatic water (mL). Draw volume = dose ÷ concentration. On a U-100 syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, so units = draw volume × 100.

Research-context information only. The figures above are arithmetic from the values entered, and the protocol presets report what published and community sources have documented — not what should be done. Consult a licensed physician for personal medical decisions.
