Once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist for glucose control and weight loss, marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy.
TR8CE uses one simple standard: 0.1 mL of bacteriostatic water per mg. A 5 mg vial takes 0.5 mL of water for a clean 10 mg/mL solution. Larger vials scale the water up to fit the glass.
| Vial size | BAC water | Concentration | 0.25 mg draws to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 0.5 mL | 10 mg/mL | 2.5 units |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 2.5 units |
| 15 mg | 1.5 mL | 10 mg/mL | 2.5 units |
| 20 mg | 2 mL | 10 mg/mL | 2.5 units |
| 30 mg | 3 mL | 10 mg/mL | 2.5 units |
Units are shown for a U-100 insulin syringe. A common starting dose is 0.25 mg. At 10 mg/mL, that draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Single-pathway GLP-1 receptor agonism enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses appetite, and delays gastric emptying.
Semaglutide is commonly taken in the morning.
Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg Semaglutide vial for a 10 mg/mL solution.
A common Semaglutide starting dose is 0.25 mg, which at 10 mg/mL draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject it slowly down the inside glass of the Semaglutide vial (not onto the powder), and swirl gently until clear. Store refrigerated and use within the common window.
Add 0.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg Semaglutide vial for a 10 mg/mL solution. A 0.25 mg dose then draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Add 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg Semaglutide vial for a 10 mg/mL solution. A 0.25 mg dose then draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Add 1.5 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 15 mg Semaglutide vial for a 10 mg/mL solution. A 0.25 mg dose then draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 20 mg Semaglutide vial for a 10 mg/mL solution. A 0.25 mg dose then draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 30 mg Semaglutide vial for a 10 mg/mL solution. A 0.25 mg dose then draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
