Working out the 5-Amino-1MQ math
Divide the amount in the vial by the water to find its strength. When you add 5 mL of water to a 50 mg vial, each mL contains 10 mg. Get the mL amount by dividing your dose by that strength; multiply it by 100 to find the units on a U-100 syringe.
From that vial, 200 mcg equals 0.02 mL, or 2 units.

Frequently asked questions
How much water do I put into a 50 mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial?
You can choose the water amount, but it only changes the strength of each mL. Adding 5 mL provides 10 mg per mL; using more water lowers the amount in each unit and makes small doses easier to measure.
For 1 mg of 5-Amino-1MQ, how many units is that?
Your mix's strength determines the answer. At 10 mg/mL, you get 10 units from 1 mg. Put your own vial and water amounts into the calculator to find your number.
How long does a mixture of 5-Amino-1MQ remain usable?
Follow the storage instructions on your product or prescription. CDC guidance says to use bacteriostatic water within 28 days of the first needle.
