A worked example
A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL. A 200 mcg dose is then 0.08 mL — about 8 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe, giving roughly 25 doses per vial before accounting for residual volume left in the vial and syringe.

Common questions
How do I measure 200 mcg of ipamorelin?
A 5 mg vial in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL, so 200 mcg is 0.08 mL — 8 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe. Small draws like this are why many people choose a 0.3 mL syringe.
Why is my draw only a few units?
Because the dose is small relative to the concentration. Adding more bacteriostatic water spreads the same peptide across more volume, making each draw larger and easier to measure accurately.
