.5ml syringe

I want to make the move to a .5ml insulin syringe. I'll inject 50mg twice weekly of 200mg/ml cypionate. What notch/line would that be on the syringe? I've thought about it for a while and the numbers just aren't adding up correctly. Thanks guys!

200/4 = 50mg

1/4 = .25mL

Another way to think of it is that you can double the mL to get the mg. So 1mL = 200mg.
 
200mg/ml = 20mg/0.1 mil (a tenth of a ml)

10 X 20 = 200

2.5 X 20mg = 50mg

2.5 X 0.1 ml = 0.25 ml

50 mg = 0.25ml

0.25mil is 1/2 of 0.5 mil.

So for a 1/2 ml (0.5ml) syringe you would need to fill it 1/2 way (50%)

If my math is off I am sure someone will correct me.
 
johndoesmith - those numbers make sense if using a 1 ml syringe. I'm currently injecting 60mg twice weekly and fill to .30ml. You think it would it be the same with a .5ml syringe.

Orrin - There's no way I'm doing that kind of math brother.

The numbers still make perfect sense, mL is mL no matter what. A .5mL syringe can only hold up to .5mL, but that has no bearing on the amount of volume the units measure.
 
Nice pic Vince.
The number were my "Engineer in me" talking" :)
Like I said, fill the 0.5ml syringe 1/2 way :)
0.25ml X 2 = 0.5ml
Sorry... Engineer is talking again :)
