Semaglutide reconstitution calculator

Reconstitution calculator for Semaglutide, prefilled for 2 mg and 5 mg and 10 mg vials. Work out the concentration, the dose volume in millilitres, and the reading on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Start from a compound

Fills the vial size and a starting water volume. Only compounds with a citable range fill a dose.

The second is the question asked once the syringe is already filled, or when checking a vial someone else reconstituted.

1 mg = 1,000 mcg. Published figures are usually micrograms; vial labels are milligrams.

Semaglutide — Approved label or registrational trial

Taken from an approved label or the trial it was based on. The prefilled dose is the low end of that range, weekly, escalated in steps over months.

Vial size and water volume are a starting point for the arithmetic, not a recommendation.

Adding more water makes the same dose a larger, easier-to-read mark on the syringe. It does not change how many doses the vial holds.

Vial sizes and starting volume

Semaglutide is commonly supplied in 2 mg and 5 mg and 10 mg vials. The calculator opens on a 2 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water — a starting point for the arithmetic, not a recommendation. Change either and everything recalculates.

That combination gives 1 mg/mL, so one insulin unit holds 10 mcg and a 250 mcg dose is 25 units.

Half-life, and why it matters here

Approximately one week, which is why the approved schedule is weekly. A shorter half-life is why some protocols split a daily amount across more than one administration, which means more and smaller draws from the same vial — and a smaller draw is where a thinner dilution becomes harder to read accurately.

The half-life and clearance calculator works this through for a given dose.

What dose to enter

A range of 2502400 mcg per dose can be cited for Semaglutide, weekly, escalated in steps over months. The dose field opens at the low end of it.
