Reconstitution math question for first vial

Posted by aspiring_trailrun in Beginner Questions - 2 points, 1 comments.

Hey everyone. New here and still working through the basics. I have my first vial of BPC-157 coming and I want to make sure I get the reconstitution right before I even open it. The vial says 5 mg and I plan to use bac water. If I add 2 ml that gives me 2.5 mg per ml which is 2500 mcg per ml. Then a 250 mcg dose would be 0.1 ml on an insulin syringe. That math seems right but I keep second guessing myself because the units flip between mg and mcg. Also not sure if 2 ml is too much volume for a 5 mg vial or if 1 ml is more standard. I have read a few guides but they all use slightly different numbers and it makes me nervous. For context I am 40s male, CPT background, mostly looking at this for knee tendon irritation from trail running. Not expecting miracles just want to be precise with the basics. Any confirmation on the math or thoughts on volume would help a lot. Thanks.

• blake_sleepnerd: your math checks out to me. 5 mg divided by 2 ml is 2.5 mg per ml which is 2500 mcg per ml so 250 mcg lands at 0.1 ml on a u-100 syringe. i went with 2 ml on my first vial too because 1 ml would have made each 250 mcg dose
