Reverse GLP-1 Dose Calculator
Convert verified GLP-1 concentration and U-100 units to mg, mcg, and mL. Review arithmetic and limits; no dosing advice.
Inputs and outputs
Enter the concentration shown on the verified label in mg/mL and the U-100 syringe marking you want to check. The calculator returns liquid volume, mg, and mcg. It is intentionally limited to U-100; use the general units converter for another scale.
Formula
Volume mL = U-100 units ÷ 100. Mass mg = volume mL × concentration mg/mL. Mass mcg = mg × 1,000.
Hypothetical example
For illustration, 8 U on U-100 is 0.08 mL. At a hypothetical verified concentration of 1.5 mg/mL, that volume contains 0.12 mg or 120 mcg. This does not recommend that amount.
Common errors
- Entering total package mg instead of mg/mL.
- Using a non-U-100 syringe.
- Transcribing concentration from the wrong product.
- Using the result as treatment guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a GLP-1 dosing recommendation?
No. It is arithmetic for translating an entered concentration and U-100 marking. It does not tell you what amount to use, whether a product is appropriate, or how often to take it.
Why can two people get different mg from the same units?
Their products may have different concentrations. Units describe volume on a syringe; milligrams describe mass. Always check the pharmacy label and the syringe scale.

Limitations: This calculator performs arithmetic on values supplied by the user. It does not identify a product, validate a label, check sterility or potency, recommend an amount, or replace a pharmacist, prescriber, or other qualified healthcare professional.
