Adipotide Dosing & Reconstitution Chart
How many insulin-syringe units to draw for Adipotide, based on how much bacteriostatic water you add to a 5 mg vial. Every number below is on a U-100 (100 units = 1 mL) syringe and matches our calculator.

Calculate your exact Adipotide dose
Pre-filled with Adipotide’s commonly cited vial and dose. Change any field to match your vial — it shows the exact units, concentration, and doses per vial.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 5 mg vial. That gives you about 10 doses of 500 mcg. For each dose, draw 20 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.
Adipotide dosing FAQ
How many units of Adipotide should I draw?
Reconstituting a 5 mg vial of Adipotide with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL. A 500 mcg dose is about 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, roughly 10 doses per vial. This is a commonly cited example for context, not medical advice.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to Adipotide?
There is no single correct amount. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure volume; less water makes it more concentrated. The chart above shows the units for 1–5 mL — 2 mL is a common choice for a 5 mg vial.
How many doses are in a 5 mg Adipotide vial?
At a 500 mcg dose, a 5 mg vial holds about 10 doses. Larger doses mean fewer doses per vial, and the amount of water you add does not change this.
