Dose conversion answers
Every common semaglutide and tirzepatide dose, converted to insulin syringe units at every concentration compounding pharmacies actually use.
This is arithmetic, not a prescription. It converts a dose someone already prescribed you into syringe units. It does not tell you what dose to take, and it cannot know what is in your vial. Read the concentration off the vial in your hand every single time — not the last one, not the one in the photo on the pharmacy's website.
These pages answer one question each: what a specific dose or a specific number of syringe units actually works out to, at every concentration a compounding pharmacy is likely to send you. Every page carries the full table and a calculator for vials that are not on it.
If you would rather just enter your own numbers, use the semaglutide units calculator or the tirzepatide units calculator.
Milligrams to syringe units
Your prescriber gave you a dose in mg. These convert it to units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
- 0.25 mg of semaglutide in units
- 0.5 mg of semaglutide in units
- 1 mg of semaglutide in units
- 1.7 mg of semaglutide in units
- 2 mg of semaglutide in units
- 2.4 mg of semaglutide in units
- 2.5 mg of tirzepatide in units
- 5 mg of tirzepatide in units
- 7.5 mg of tirzepatide in units
- 10 mg of tirzepatide in units
- 12.5 mg of tirzepatide in units
- 15 mg of tirzepatide in units
Syringe units to milligrams
You have drawn a number of units and want to know what dose that actually is.
- 5 units of semaglutide in mg
- 10 units of semaglutide in mg
- 15 units of semaglutide in mg
- 20 units of semaglutide in mg
- 25 units of semaglutide in mg
- 30 units of semaglutide in mg
- 40 units of semaglutide in mg
- 50 units of semaglutide in mg
- 5 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 10 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 15 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 20 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 25 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 30 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 40 units of tirzepatide in mg
- 50 units of tirzepatide in mg
Why this needs its own set of pages
Because the conversion has no single answer, and the wrong answer has a body count. The FDA has warned that people using compounded injectable semaglutide administered five to twenty times the intended dose, largely from confusion between milligrams, millilitres and units. A page that says "0.5 mg is 10 units" without naming a concentration is not simplifying. It is guessing on your behalf.
