💧 Understanding Concentration (mg/mL)
What does "20mg" mean? When your vial says Tirzepatide 20mg, it means there's 20mg of the drug in a specific volume of liquid. The concentration tells you how much drug is in each mL.
Example calculation:
If you reconstitute a 20mg vial with 2mL of water:
20mg ÷ 2mL = 10mg per mL
To find your dose: Divide your desired dose by the concentration, then use a syringe to draw that amount in mL (or convert to units on a U-100 insulin syringe).
