Dosage/Math Problem

[bblazer]

Math is not my strong suit so here goes...

My HCG prescription instructions were to mix 2 cc's of water with the contents of the lyophilized vial.

Of course I read this AFTER I read the package insert that told me to dilute with 10 cc of bac water - which I did.

My dosage is for 0.25 cc's of the 2 cc dilution which is supposed to = 1250 IUs.

Would I be correct in thinking that my new dosage is 1.25 cc's?

According to the vial, after dilution (10 cc's) the vial will contain 10,000 units.

Thanks,

How man ui's are on the vial before you added any water to it?

It says 10,000 USP units.

I would assume that I am now at a 1000 IUs/ml.

Sound correct?

Yes you are.

Yes you are.

Damn.

In my stupidity, I just turned a 0.25 cc subQ injection to a 1.25 IM.
