Every common semaglutide dose from a 5 mg/mL vial, converted to mL and units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Check that your pharmacy label says 5 mg/mL before using this chart.
| Dose | mL to draw | U-100 syringe |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1 mg | 0.02 mL | 2 units |
| 0.25 mg | 0.05 mL | 5 units |

Questions
How many units is 0.5 mg of semaglutide at 5 mg/mL?
0.5 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
How many mg are in 10 units of 5 mg/mL semaglutide?
10 units is 0.1 mL. 0.1 mL × 5 mg/mL = 0.5 mg.
How do I know my vial is 5 mg/mL?
Look for 'mg/mL' on the pharmacy label. If the label only gives a total (for example 10 mg in 2 mL), divide the total mg by the total mL to get the strength. If you're unsure, ask your pharmacy before you draw a dose.
