2.4mg of Semaglutide from a 2mg vial in 0.5mL: how many units?
Answer
Draw 60 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. A 2 mg Semaglutide vial reconstituted with 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water is 4 mg/mL, so 2.4 mg is 0.6 mL. That vial holds about 0 doses at this strength.

| U-40 syringe | 24 units |
| Doses per vial | 0 |
Dose chart: 2 mg vial in 0.5 mL
| Dose | Volume | U-100 units | U-40 units | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.125 mg | 0.031 mL | 3.1 | 1.3 | 16 |
| 0.25 mg | 0.063 mL | 6.3 | 2.5 | 8 |
| 0.5 mg | 0.125 mL | 12.5 | 5 | 4 |
| 1 mg | 0.25 mL | 25 | 10 | 2 |
| 1.7 mg | 0.425 mL | 42.5 | 17 | 1 |
| 2 mg | 0.5 mL | 50 | 20 | 1 |
| 2.4 mg | 0.6 mL | 60 | 24 | 0 |
| 3 mg | 0.75 mL | 75 | 30 | 0 |
Doses that would need more than a full 1 mL syringe are omitted. Use less bacteriostatic water for those.
Common questions
- What if I used a different amount of water?
- Then the unit number changes. Units depend on concentration, not just dose. Run your actual vial size and water volume through the reconstitution calculator rather than copying a number from a chart that assumes 0.5 mL.
- Is that on a U-100 or U-40 syringe?
- 60 units is the U-100 reading, the standard insulin syringe at 100 units to 1 mL. On a U-40 syringe the same 0.6 mL reads 24 units.
- How many 2.4 mg doses will this vial give?
- About 0 doses from a 2 mg vial. Reconstitution volume doesn't change that. It only changes how many units you draw each time.
- How long is it good for after mixing?
- Refrigerate reconstituted peptide at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Most references give 28–60 days once mixed, depending on the preservative in the bacteriostatic water. Do not freeze it, and inspect for cloudiness or particles before every draw.
