[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 237725, member: 38109"] I think you have the right idea if your testosterone (cypionate?) concentration is 250 mg/mL. You need to be a little careful because U-40 syringes are less common in TRT compared to U-100. The U-40 syringe has 40 units per milliliter (40 U/mL). To compute dose units you use this conversion factor along with the desired dose in milligrams (mg) and the concentration of your testosterone in milligrams/milliliter (mg/mL): Dose Units = Desired_dose(mg) / T_concentration(mg/mL) * 40 U/mL As an example, if you want a dose of 15 mg and your testosterone cypionate concentration is 250 mg/mL then your syringe units are: 15 mg / 250 mg/mL * 40 U/mL = 2.4 Units That's going to be a little tricky to measure. For these smaller doses U-100 syringes are a little easier to work with, especially if you get 0.3 mL syringes with half-unit markings. The equation can be rearranged to yield the division you were proposing (40/250): Dose Units = Desired_dose(mg) * (40 U/mL / T_concentration(mg/mL)) 15 mg * (40 U/mL / 250 mg/mL) = 15 mg * (0.16 U/mg) = 2.4 Units [/QUOTE]
