HMG Reconstitution Calculator
Reconstitute a 0.15 mg / 75 IU vial of HMG with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water for a concentration of 0.15 mg/mL — meaning one unit on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.01 mL) holds 2 mcg. Adjust the inputs below for your own vial and dose.

HMG mg-to-units quick reference
At the default 0.15 mg/mL (0.15 mg / 75 IU in 1 mL), draw the following units on a U-100 insulin syringe:
| Target dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg (0.25 mg) | 1.667 mL | 166.7 units |
| 500 mcg (0.50 mg) | 3.333 mL | 333.3 units |
| 1000 mcg (1.00 mg) | 6.667 mL | 666.7 units |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute HMG?expand_more
Add 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 0.15 mg HMG vial for a concentration of 0.15 mg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake.
How many units is a HMG dose on an insulin syringe?expand_more
At 0.15 mg/mL, one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 2 mcg. Divide your target dose in mcg by 2 to get the number of units to draw.
What is the typical HMG research dose?expand_more
HMG is typically dosed at 75 IU (0.15 mg) three times weekly SC in research protocols. See the full titration schedule on the protocol page.
