Calculators / Dihexa dose charts
Dihexa dose charts (mg → U-100 units)
Units to draw on a standard U-100 insulin syringe, for each common Dihexa vial size and BAC-water volume. Doses shown reflect ranges reported in published research — they are reference points for the math, not recommendations. For other numbers, use the live calculator.
5 mg vial
| Dose | + 1 mL water (5 mg/mL) | + 2 mL water (2.5 mg/mL) | + 3 mL water (1.67 mg/mL) |

| 8 mg | > syringe | > syringe | > syringe |
| 12 mg | > syringe | > syringe | > syringe |
| 20 mg | > syringe | > syringe | > syringe |
10 mg vial
| Dose | + 1 mL water (10 mg/mL) | + 2 mL water (5 mg/mL) | + 3 mL water (3.33 mg/mL) |

20 mg vial
| Dose | + 1 mL water (20 mg/mL) | + 2 mL water (10 mg/mL) | + 3 mL water (6.67 mg/mL) |
|---|---|---|---|

Formula: units = dose ÷ concentration × 100 · concentration = vial mg ÷ water mL · Dihexa half-life ≈ 8.8 days (rat) (PubMed 23055539 (McCoy 2013, J Pharmacol Exp Ther — rat t½ 8.83 days IP / 12.68 days IV; no published human PK))
