Cells show units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe. Highlighted cells exceed one full 1 mL (100-unit) syringe — add more water, split the dose, or use a larger syringe.
Calculate your exact Cerluten dose
Pre-filled with Cerluten’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 10 mg vial. That gives you about 5 doses of 2 mg. For each dose, draw 40 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.
Cerluten dosing FAQ
How many units of Cerluten should I draw?
Reconstituting a 10 mg vial of Cerluten with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5 mg/mL. A 2 mg dose is about 40 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, roughly 5 doses per vial. This is a commonly cited example for context, not medical advice.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to Cerluten?
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 10 mg vial.
How many doses are in a 10 mg Cerluten vial?
At a 2 mg dose, a 10 mg vial holds about 5 doses. Larger doses mean fewer doses per vial, and the amount of water you add does not change this.
