Reconstitution quick reference
A 5 mg vial at a 198 mcg dose of Urocortin, by how much bacteriostatic water you add:
| Bacteriostatic water | Concentration | U-100 syringe units per dose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 4.0 units |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 7.9 units |
| 3 mL | 1.667 mg/mL | 12 units |
