300 kleen Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 2109)	posted June 22, 2000 12:03 PM IU's and CC have no inverse relationship. IU is the measure concentration and CC is the measure of volume. There are exactly 2.7IU in a mg. ------------------ 300 kleen IP: Logged
Want2BeHuge Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 11)	posted June 22, 2000 01:10 PM If your looking to use a regular "pin" to measure iu's your going to have a problem. Products like insulin and hgh are measured in iu's, a small but powerfull dose of insulin would be 10 iu's and you can not measure it in a cc pin. IP: Logged

2Thick Moderator (Total posts: 2973)	posted June 22, 2000 02:04 PM 300kleen is correct. You cannot measure IU using CC because IU is a measure of concentration and a cc is a measure of volume. Therefore, the IU/CC depends on what concentration the manufacturer decides upon. I believe the reason that most people believe that 100iu=1cc is because a popular insulin producer uses that concentration. ------------------ Check out my Injection and Syringe Info Page: http://www.angelfire.com/biz5/syringes IP: Logged

DREXX Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 151)	posted June 22, 2000 02:15 PM Really 2Thick if you say so I believe you. But isn't a 100iu insulin syringe also refered to as a 1cc syringe. iu means international units doesn't it. So insulin is 100iu = 1cc = 1ml what about GH is that 100iu = 1cc = 1ml as well??? Now I am confused !?! [This message has been edited by DREXX (edited June 22, 2000).] IP: Logged
2Thick Moderator (Total posts: 2973)	posted June 22, 2000 02:28 PM GH has different IU measurements per mL. IU is a measurement of concentration and not of volume. 2.7iu=1mL ------------------ Check out my Injection and Syringe Info Page: http://www.angelfire.com/biz5/syringes IP: Logged
DREXX Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 151)	posted June 22, 2000 02:48 PM You are right 2Thick. For those interested read this: The measure of most drugs is simply weight, usually in milligrams, sometimes in micrograms or grams. Some drugs, particularly, biologic preparations are measured in "International Units" or IU. An IU is a standardized measure of biological activity or potency based on a quantitative assay rather than weight and is used when the preparation is not an exact chemical formula or when various related substances have the same type of biological effect. The assay used and the exact definition of an "IU" is completely different for different substances. Normally any pharmaceutical drug will have a standardized number of IU per milligram weight of drug, so it is possible to convert from IU to mg. If there are various preparations of the drug available, IU is a more appropriate measure of how much drug you are getting than milligrams. Sometimes to compare doses from one study in the medical literature to those from another you may have to find out which preparations were used and what the conversion factors are and convert mg to IU. Most of the time the measure is simply weight and this problem does not occur. [This message has been edited by DREXX (edited June 22, 2000).] IP: Logged
DREXX Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 151)	posted June 22, 2000 02:52 PM So if iu is concentration that means if GH is not 100iu per 1ml then you can't use an insuline syringe for gh. Is there GH syringes? I have never used it. IP: Logged
jersey boy Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 28)	posted June 22, 2000 06:14 PM You can use an insulin syringe for GH if that is what you want to do. Just simply read the bottle of the powder (usually 4i.u.) and note the amount of the solution that it comes with ( usually 1ml-the entire amount that the insulin needle can hold) that will be going into the solvent. If you want to take 1i.u. then take out .25ml from the constituted GH. IP: Logged
THESAINT Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 788)	posted June 22, 2000 07:21 PM There is 2.7 IUs in a cc or ml. That is not an insulin unit it is an international unit. Two different measures. IP: Logged
IndyMan2 Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 30)	posted June 22, 2000 10:52 PM Brothers beware...if you are using insulin syringes to take either GH or insulin. Some manufacturers put out 50 unit syringes which are only 1/2cc (0.5cc) AND they also make 100 unit syringes which hold 1cc of volume. Be careful drawing up your dosages, especially with insulin. It would be very easy to accidentally give yourself DOUBLE the dosage you intended to take. Check each syringe carefully...it should say what kind it is. IP: Logged
