Dihexa Reconstitution Calculator
Reconstitute a 30 mg vial of Dihexa with 1.5 mL of bacteriostatic water for a concentration of 20.00 mg/mL — meaning one unit on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.01 mL) holds 200 mcg. Adjust the inputs below for your own vial and dose.

Dihexa mg-to-units quick reference
At the default 20.00 mg/mL (30 mg in 1.5 mL), draw the following units on a U-100 insulin syringe:
| Target dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg (0.25 mg) | 0.013 mL | 1.3 units |
| 500 mcg (0.50 mg) | 0.025 mL | 2.5 units |
| 1000 mcg (1.00 mg) | 0.050 mL | 5.0 units |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute Dihexa?expand_more
Add 1.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 30 mg Dihexa vial for a concentration of 20.00 mg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake.
How many units is a Dihexa dose on an insulin syringe?expand_more
At 20.00 mg/mL, one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 200 mcg. Divide your target dose in mcg by 200 to get the number of units to draw.
What is the typical Dihexa research dose?expand_more
Dihexa is typically dosed at 5-20 mg/day oral (no validated human dose) in research protocols. See the full titration schedule on the protocol page.
