Research use only Educational comparator summary. This research material is not an approved drug product.
Vial Size HCG 5000IU
Preparation 2mL bacteriostatic water
Concentration 2500IU/mL after preparation
Documented Convention 500IU two to three times weekly

1. Preparation and Measurement

HCG 5000IU With 2mL of Diluent

Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to the vial. The resulting concentration is 2500IU/mL. On a U-100 syringe, each unit contains 25IU.

5000IU / 2mL = 2500IU/mL
1 U-100 unit = 0.01mL = 25IU

Preparation

  1. Draw 2mL of bacteriostatic water using sterile equipment.
  2. Let the liquid run slowly down the inside wall of the vial.
  3. Gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake.
  4. Label with the preparation date and refrigerate.

Check the calculation with the peptide calculator.

2. Commonly Documented Schedule

Route commonly described: subcutaneous in circulated protocols. Frequency: two to three times weekly.

Period Documented amount Measurement
Weeks 1-3 500IU three times weekly 0.2mL / 20 units
Weeks 4-6 500IU twice weekly 0.2mL / 20 units

Vial estimate: One 5000IU vial contains approximately 10 documented-size administrations at 500IU.
