Teduglutide Reconstitution Calculator
Reconstitute a 5 mg vial of Teduglutide with 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water for a concentration of 10.00 mg/mL — meaning one unit on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.01 mL) holds 100 mcg. Adjust the inputs below for your own vial and dose.

Teduglutide mg-to-units quick reference
At the default 10.00 mg/mL (5 mg in 0.5 mL), draw the following units on a U-100 insulin syringe:
| Target dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg (0.25 mg) | 0.025 mL | 2.5 units |
| 500 mcg (0.50 mg) | 0.050 mL | 5.0 units |
| 1000 mcg (1.00 mg) | 0.100 mL | 10.0 units |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute Teduglutide?expand_more
Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to the 5 mg Teduglutide vial for a concentration of 10.00 mg/mL. Inject the water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — do not shake.
How many units is a Teduglutide dose on an insulin syringe?expand_more
At 10.00 mg/mL, one unit on a U-100 syringe (0.01 mL) holds 100 mcg. Divide your target dose in mcg by 100 to get the number of units to draw.
What is the typical Teduglutide research dose?expand_more
Teduglutide is typically dosed at 0.05 mg/kg/day SC (~3.5 mg/day for a 70 kg adult) in research protocols. See the full titration schedule on the protocol page.
