Pramlintide Reconstitution Calculator
Reconstitute a 5 mg vial of Pramlintide with 5 mL of bacteriostatic water for a concentration of 1.00 mg/mL — meaning one unit on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.01 mL) holds 10 mcg. Adjust the inputs below for your own vial and dose.

Pramlintide mg-to-units quick reference
At the default 1.00 mg/mL (5 mg in 5 mL), draw the following units on a U-100 insulin syringe:
| Target dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg (0.25 mg) | 0.250 mL | 25.0 units |
| 500 mcg (0.50 mg) | 0.500 mL | 50.0 units |
| 1000 mcg (1.00 mg) | 1.000 mL | 100.0 units |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute Pramlintide?expand_more
Add 5 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 5 mg Pramlintide vial for a concentration of 1.00 mg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake.
How many units is a Pramlintide dose on an insulin syringe?expand_more
At 1.00 mg/mL, one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 10 mcg. Divide your target dose in mcg by 10 to get the number of units to draw.
What is the typical Pramlintide research dose?expand_more
Pramlintide is typically dosed at 15-60 mcg/meal (T1D); 60-120 mcg/meal (T2D) in research protocols. See the full titration schedule on the protocol page.
