## Ozempic calculator (semaglutide)

Ozempic itself comes in a pre-filled pen, but compounded or vialed semaglutide (the same molecule) has to be reconstituted. Enter the vial mg, bac water, and dose to get the exact units, mL, and doses per vial.

GLP-1 (Ozempic/Wegovy molecule; also compounded).

"Units" are a volume marking, not a drug amount — the same units = a different mg every time the vial is mixed differently.

### Vial size × bacteriostatic water: what each combination gives you

The same vial gives a different concentration depending on how much water you add. Find your vial size and the water you added; the last column is what one milligram is worth in syringe units.

| Vial | Bac water added | Concentration | 1 mg draws |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 2 mg/mL | 50 U |
| 2 mg | 2 mL | 1 mg/mL | 100 U |
| 2 mg | 3 mL | 0.67 mg/mL | 150 U |
| 4 mg | 1 mL | 4 mg/mL | 25 U |
| 4 mg | 2 mL | 2 mg/mL | 50 U |
| 4 mg | 3 mL | 1.33 mg/mL | 75 U |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 U |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 40 U |
| 5 mg | 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 60 U |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 10 U |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 U |
| 10 mg | 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 30 U |

Units are for a standard U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units = 1 mL. These are conversions, not dose suggestions — your dose comes from your prescriber, and this page never proposes one. For a size or volume not listed, use the calculator above.

### Ozempic vs Wegovy: same molecule, different product

Ozempic and Wegovy are both **semaglutide**, so the reconstitution arithmetic above is identical for either. The products are not identical. These are the handling rules each one's own FDA label sets — the differences that a shared molecule name hides.

| Product | Presentation | Before use | Once in use |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ozempic | multi-dose pen | 2–8 °C | 56 days · 15–30 °C |
| Ozempic | single-dose prefilled syringe | 2–8 °C | 28 days · 8–30 °C |
| Wegovy | single-dose pen | 2–8 °C | 28 days · 8–30 °C Applies before the pen cap is removed. |

So the molecule is the same and the handling is not. Getting this wrong is the most common storage mistake with semaglutide: a rule read off the wrong brand's carton. Follow the carton in your own hand — more detail on the [storage page](https://glp-1-app.com/learn/glp-1-storage/).

Dosing is once weekly, and the published half-life of semaglutide is ~168 h.

### FAQ

#### How many units is my dose?

Units are a volume marking on the syringe, not a drug amount — on a U-100 syringe, 100 units = 1 mL. The units for any dose depend entirely on how the vial was reconstituted (mg of powder ÷ mL of bacteriostatic water). Enter your numbers above and the calculator gives the exact units.

#### How much bacteriostatic water should I add?

There's no single right amount — more water makes the solution more dilute (easier to draw, larger volume per dose) and less water makes it more concentrated. Pick a volume, enter it above, and the calculator shows the resulting concentration, units per dose, and doses per vial so you can choose a readable draw.

#### How long can Ozempic stay out of the fridge?

Per its own FDA label, once in use — multi-dose pen: 56 days, 15–30 °C; single-dose prefilled syringe: 28 days, 8–30 °C. Unopened it stays at 2–8 °C. Always follow the carton you actually have; this is a restatement of the label, not advice.

#### Is Ozempic the same as Wegovy?

Both are semaglutide, so the reconstitution arithmetic on this page is identical for either. The handling is not identical — the in-use windows above come from each product's own label and they differ.

#### Where is Ozempic available?

Ozempic is marketed in all five markets we track — US, UK, Germany, Japan, Australia — per each country's regulator register.

- Syringe "units" are a volume marking, not a drug amount: a U-100 syringe reads 100 units = 1 mL (U-40 = 40 units/mL). The calculator converts mg ↔ mL ↔ units on this standard — it never assumes units equal mg.[Standard insulin concentration, U-100 = 100 units/mL (PMC5505430) ↗](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5505430/)
- The volume to draw is (drug ordered ÷ drug available) × the vial's total mL — i.e. dose ÷ concentration, where concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg ÷ bacteriostatic water mL. You enter every number; the tool only does this arithmetic.[Dose-volume formula — StatPearls "Dose Calculation" (Bookshelf NBK430836) ↗](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430836/)
