How do I figure mcg amounts on insulin pin???

[chgolatin-one]

Silly question. My insulin pin has number from 10 to 100 Units. How Do I figure 200mcg? If I am correct its at the 20 mark, correct? This is for Frag176 injections..

It depends on the concentration of the product. Say, 500mcg per ml. That would be 5mcg for every line on the slin pin. 50mcg for the each 10 line.

It is basic math.

How many mg is you frag bottle?

 

[chgolatin-one]

4mg per vial

 

[Potimus]

Add 4ml solution to make each ml 1000mcg, then draw 20 units to make 200mcg.

I was informed by the vendor that I should add 2ml of solution to the 4mg vials, is that correct? Or should I add more solution? So for every gram 1ml of solution, correct???

You can add 2ml, and every 10 mark would be 200mcg. Makes no difference really.

Hmmm, ok let me get this straight sorry for the confusion. I will add 2 or 4 ML of the water solution into the vial shake or stir slowly inject 200mcg, am I good?

Thanks bro!

As Potimus said if you use 2ML of solution you inject 10IU on your slin for 200MCG. No need to shake it will disolve on its own very quickly.
