the working
- 5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL
- 0.6 mg ÷ 2.5 mg/mL = 0.24 mL
- 0.24 mL × 100 = 24 units on a 0.3 mL U-100 syringe
- 5 mg ÷ 0.6 mg = 8.33 → 8 full draws
- $51.00 × 0.6 mg ÷ 5 mg = $6.12 per draw
If this is a prescription, the dose and volume on your pharmacy label take priority. Ask your pharmacist about any mismatch.

doses of Liraglutide used in research
FDA-approved as Saxenda (weight management; daily titration 0.6 mg to 3 mg) and Victoza (type 2 diabetes; 0.6 mg, then 1.2 mg, up to 1.8 mg daily). These are the amounts specific labels and studies used, linked to each source. They are references, not recommendations; a prescription label takes priority.

what the numbers mean · where they come from
terms and sources
- Label amount or measured amount. The calculator starts from the amount printed on the vial. A lot certificate’s measured content (net peptide content, in mg) can replace it for the vial that was tested. HPLC purity is a share of peak area, not a mass, so a purity-only correction is shown as an estimate. See HPLC, certificate of analysis and how to read a peptide COA.
- Concentration. Amount in the vial ÷ water added. Terms: reconstitution, bacteriostatic water, lyophilized.
- Syringe units. A volume: 0.01 mL per unit on a U-100 syringe, 0.025 mL on U-40. Units say nothing about the compound until the concentration is known.
- Cost per draw. Vial price × amount per draw ÷ vial amount, from the price per mg of a current offer. Offers come from the Liraglutide price comparison; certificates from the COA library.
Arithmetic only, on the numbers entered. Amounts from labels or trials are cited references, not recommendations; PeptideTech does not give personal use instructions and does not test products.
