Working out AOD-9604 calculations
Divide the amount in the vial by the water to find the strength. Each mL of a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of water contains 2.5 mg. Divide your dose by the strength to find mL, then multiply by 100 to get the units on a U-100 syringe.
From that vial, a 50 mcg dose measures 0.02 mL, or 2 units.

Questions people often ask
For a 5 mg AOD-9604 vial, how much water do I add?
You choose the amount of water; it only changes the strength of each mL. Adding 2 mL produces a strength of 2.5 mg per mL. More water lowers the amount in every unit, so smaller doses become easier to measure.
How many units do you draw for 1 mg of AOD-9604?
Your mix's strength determines the answer. When the strength is 2.5 mg/mL, 1 mg equals 40 units. In the calculator, enter your vial and water to get your number.
How long does AOD-9604 stay usable after mixing?
Use the storage guidance given with your product or prescription. Within 28 days after the first needle, bacteriostatic water itself should be used, according to CDC guidance.
