Survodutide 12mg Reconstitution: How Much Bacteriostatic Water & How Many Units
A 12mg vial of Survodutide contains 12,000 mcg. After you add bacteriostatic water, the amount of water decides the concentration — and therefore how many units you draw on a U-100 insulin syringe (1 ml = 100 units). The tables below cover the common water amounts.
Concentration by water amount
| Water added | Concentration | Per 1 unit (0.01 ml) | Per 10 units (0.1 ml) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ml | 12 mg/ml | 120 mcg | 1.2 mg |
| 2 ml | 6 mg/ml | 60 mcg | 600 mcg |
| 3 ml | 4 mg/ml | 40 mcg | 400 mcg |
How many units to draw
Example doses across the research range listed for Survodutide (600 mcg–4.8 mg). Units are on a U-100 insulin syringe.
| Dose | With 1 ml | With 2 ml | With 3 ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 600 mcg | 5 units | 10 units | 15 units | 20 |
| 2 mg | 16.7 units | 33.3 units | 50 units | 6 |
| 3 mg | 25 units | 50 units | 75 units | 4 |
| 4.8 mg | 40 units | 80 units | 120 units (over 1 ml — split or use a larger syringe) | 2 |
How to mix it
- Wipe the vial stoppers with alcohol and let them dry.
- Draw your chosen amount of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- Inject the water slowly down the inside wall of the Survodutide vial — not directly onto the powder.
- Swirl gently until clear. Do not shake.
- Label the vial with the date and concentration, and store it in the refrigerator.

FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 12mg Survodutide vial?
Common choices are 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml. With 2 ml the concentration is 6 mg/ml. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure draw; less water keeps injection volume small. The amount of water does not change the dose — only how many units you draw.
How many units is 600 mcg of Survodutide from a 12mg vial?
With 2 ml of bacteriostatic water, 600 mcg is 10 units on a U-100 (1 ml) insulin syringe. See the table above for other water amounts.
How many doses are in a 12mg Survodutide vial?
At 600 mcg per dose, a 12mg vial holds about 20 doses. At higher doses it holds fewer — see the table.
