How much bacteriostatic water do I need for a 10 mg vial?

Short answer
'10 mg' on its own does not indicate the volume either. If the product carries a manufacturer, pharmacy or clinician instruction, that is the one that applies. As pure arithmetic: water adds no peptide, it only sets the concentration, and in a 10 mg vial the same volume gives twice the concentration of a 5 mg vial.
In plain English
- 10 mg with 2 ml = 5 mg per ml.
- 10 mg with 4 ml = 2.5 mg per ml.
- Same peptide amount either way; only the syringe reading changes.
What we know
- The formula is always milligrams ÷ millilitres.
- The examples above are concentration arithmetic, not doses.
What we don't know yet
- Which concentration suits a specific person — that is not decided by a web page.
Arithmetic examples only. Not a dose recommendation or protocol.
