Larazotide acetate Reconstitution Calculator
Reconstitute a 10 mg vial of Larazotide acetate with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water for a concentration of 5.00 mg/mL — meaning one unit on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.01 mL) holds 50 mcg. Adjust the inputs below for your own vial and dose.

Larazotide acetate mg-to-units quick reference
At the default 5.00 mg/mL (10 mg in 2 mL), draw the following units on a U-100 insulin syringe:
| Target dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg (0.25 mg) | 0.050 mL | 5.0 units |
| 500 mcg (0.50 mg) | 0.100 mL | 10.0 units |
| 1000 mcg (1.00 mg) | 0.200 mL | 20.0 units |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute Larazotide acetate?expand_more
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 10 mg Larazotide acetate vial for a concentration of 5.00 mg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake.
How many units is a Larazotide acetate dose on an insulin syringe?expand_more
At 5.00 mg/mL, one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 50 mcg. Divide your target dose in mcg by 50 to get the number of units to draw.
What is the typical Larazotide acetate research dose?expand_more
Larazotide acetate is typically dosed at 0.5 mg before each meal (3x/day), oral in research protocols. See the full titration schedule on the protocol page.
