1.5 mg of semaglutide by vial strength
| Vial strength | mL to draw | U-100 syringe | Fits a 0.5 mL syringe? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg/mL | 1.5 mL | 150 units | Use 1 mL |
| 2 mg/mL | 0.75 mL | 75 units | Use 1 mL |
| 2.5 mg/mL | 0.6 mL | 60 units | Use 1 mL |
| 3 mg/mL | 0.5 mL | 50 units | Yes |
| 5 mg/mL | 0.3 mL | 30 units | Yes |
Formula: units = 1.5 ÷ (mg/mL) × 100. Vial label only shows a total, like 5 mg in 2 mL? Divide: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL.
