Understanding mg and ml in Tirzepatide/vitamin B6 injection

Hi. I was hoping someone can clear up what the numbers mean and the concentration level in the injection bottle I have.

The bottle states:

Tirzepatide/Vitamin B6 Injection
10mg/5mg/0.5ml - 2ml Vial

And how does this convert to Units?

Thank you.

It sounds like you have a 2 mL vial.

Every 0.5 mL supposedly contains 10 mg of tirzepatide and 5 mg of vitamin B6.

This sounds like a compounded product, which we generally do not recommend using. Additionally, the vitamin B6 is unnecessary here.

How would I get a 7.5mg dose of Tirzepatide from this with a Unit syringe if there is no U/ml concentration listing on the bottle?

Thank you.

You would need to find a way to draw 0.375 ml.

Again, we do not currently recommend the use of compounded versions of these products, in general.

Compounding pharmacies are generally used when there’s a drug shortage and/or when a specialized medication needs to be made. While semaglutide has been on the drug shortage list, a number of compounding pharmacies have been found to be using different ingredients compared to the active drug, among other issues including counterfeit prescription medications. Would recommend using the approved medication NOT from a compounding pharmacy in this case.
