On a U-100 insulin syringe, 2.4 mg of semaglutide is 240 units (more than a 1 mL syringe holds) at 1 mg/mL, 120 units (more than a 1 mL syringe holds) at 2 mg/mL, 96 units at 2.5 mg/mL, 60 units at 4 mg/mL, 48 units at 5 mg/mL, 24 units at 10 mg/mL.
At 2.5 mg/mL, the strength most often seen on compounded labels, it is 0.96 mL, which is 96 units. Use the calculator with the strength printed on your own vial.
2.4 mg of semaglutide in units at every strength
| Vial strength | Volume | Units (U-100) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mg/mL | 2.4 mL | 240 units (more than a 1 mL syringe holds) |
| 2 mg/mL | 1.2 mL | 120 units (more than a 1 mL syringe holds) |
| 2.5 mg/mL | 0.96 mL | 96 units |
| 4 mg/mL | 0.6 mL | 60 units |
| 5 mg/mL | 0.48 mL | 48 units |
| 10 mg/mL | 0.24 mL | 24 units |

How long will my vial last?
Uses the vial and dose from the calculator above.
Real vials can hold slightly more or less than the label says, and a little is lost in the needle.

Same dose, different units
At 2.5 mg/mL, 2.4 mg is 96 units. Drawing those same 96 units from a 5 mg/mL vial gives 4.8 mg, not 2.4 mg. Always check the mg/mL on the vial you are using.
In July 2024 the FDA warned about dosing errors with compounded semaglutide, including mix-ups between mg, mL and units (FDA alert). The same math applies to any vial.
Questions
How many mL is 2.4 mg of semaglutide?
It depends on the vial: 2.4 mL at 1 mg/mL, 1.2 mL at 2 mg/mL, 0.96 mL at 2.5 mg/mL, 0.6 mL at 4 mg/mL, 0.48 mL at 5 mg/mL, 0.24 mL at 10 mg/mL.
Is 2.4 mg of semaglutide the same number of units on every vial?
No. The units depend on the strength printed on the vial: 240 units (more than a 1 mL syringe holds) at 1 mg/mL, 120 units (more than a 1 mL syringe holds) at 2 mg/mL, 96 units at 2.5 mg/mL, 60 units at 4 mg/mL, 48 units at 5 mg/mL, 24 units at 10 mg/mL.
