AOD-9604 5mg Reconstitution: How Much Bacteriostatic Water & How Many Units

A 5mg vial of AOD-9604 contains 5,000 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.

1 ml	5 mg/ml	50 mcg	500 mcg
2 ml	2.5 mg/ml	25 mcg	250 mcg
3 ml	1.67 mg/ml	16.67 mcg	166.67 mcg

How many units to draw

Example doses across the research range listed for AOD-9604 (250 mcg–500 mcg). Units are on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Dose	With 1 ml	With 2 ml	With 3 ml	Doses per vial
250 mcg	5 units	10 units	15 units	20
300 mcg	6 units	12 units	18 units	16
400 mcg	8 units	16 units	24 units	12
500 mcg	10 units	20 units	30 units	10

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 AOD-9604 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 5mg AOD-9604 vial?

Common choices are 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml. With 2 ml the concentration is 2.5 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 250 mcg of AOD-9604 from a 5mg vial?

With 2 ml of bacteriostatic water, 250 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 5mg AOD-9604 vial?

At 250 mcg per dose, a 5mg vial holds about 20 doses. At higher doses it holds fewer — see the table.
