How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10 mg gonadorelin vial?

There is no single right amount. More water makes each draw bigger and easier to measure; less water keeps the volume small. With 2 mL, a 10 mg vial is 5 mg/mL, so every 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 500 mcg. With 1 mL it is 10 mg/mL (1 mg per 10 units). With 3 mL it is 3.33 mg/mL (333.333 mcg per 10 units). With 5 mL it is 2 mg/mL (200 mcg per 10 units).

How many units is 100 mcg of gonadorelin from a 10 mg vial?

With 2 mL of water the vial is 5 mg/mL, so 100 mcg is 0.02 mL, or 2 units on a U-100 syringe. With a different water volume the units change but the amount does not. The amount is an example for the math, not a recommendation.

How many 100 mcg draws are in a 10 mg gonadorelin vial?

100 (10 mg ÷ 100 mcg), whatever volume of water you add. In practice a little is lost to the syringe dead space and the last drops in the vial.

Gonadorelin 10 mg Reconstitution: BAC Water & Units

Short answer: 2 mL of bacteriostatic water in a 10 mg gonadorelin vial makes 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL = 100 units), every 10 units then holds 500 mcg. More water gives a weaker solution and a bigger draw for the same amount; the amount in the vial stays 10 mg.

Water added	Concentration	Per 10 units	Per 1 unit
1 mL	10 mg/mL	1 mg	100 mcg
2 mL	5 mg/mL	500 mcg	50 mcg
3 mL	3.33 mg/mL	333.333 mcg	33.333 mcg

Syringe units by amount

The amounts below are examples to show the conversion, not doses. How much to take is a decision for you and your prescriber.

Units on a U-100 syringe from a 10 mg vial.
Water added	50 mcg	100 mcg	200 mcg
1 mL	under 2 units	under 2 units	2 units
2 mL	under 2 units	2 units	4 units
3 mL	under 2 units	3 units	6 units
5 mL	2.5 units	5 units	10 units

A 10 mg vial holds 200 draws of 50 mcg, 100 draws of 100 mcg, 50 draws of 200 mcg, no matter how much water you add.

How far a 10 mg vial goes

Draws per vial depend only on the amount per draw, not on the water. The volume and units columns use 2 mL of water (5 mg/mL). Example amounts only, not doses.

10 mg vial: draws, volume and units per example amount.
Amount per draw	Draws per vial	Volume per draw	Units per draw
25 mcg	400	0.005 mL	under 2 units
50 mcg	200	0.01 mL	under 2 units
100 mcg	100	0.02 mL	2 units
200 mcg	50	0.04 mL	4 units
400 mcg	25	0.08 mL	8 units

Real counts run a little lower: some liquid stays in the syringe and at the bottom of the vial.

10 mg next to other gonadorelin vial sizes

To get the same 5 mg/mL from another vial size, scale the water with the vial. Same strength means the same units for the same amount, whichever vial it comes from.

Water for 5 mg/mL, and 100 mcg draws per vial, by vial size.
Vial	Water for 5 mg/mL	100 mcg draws per vial
2 mg	0.4 mL	20
10 mg (this page)	2 mL	100

The math

Concentration. 10 mg ÷ 2 mL = 5 mg/mL
Volume to draw. amount ÷ 5 mg/mL = mL
Syringe units. mL × 100 = units

For a different water volume or amount, the free peptide reconstitution calculator works backwards from the amount you want and suggests a water volume that lands on a clean syringe mark.
