Units to mg Converter

Convert U-100 syringe units back into mL and milligrams using the concentration on your vial label.

units

Enter the U-100 syringe marking you want to convert. On a U-100 syringe, 100 units equals 1 mL.

If you select a size, we check the units fit on that syringe.

Match the number and units printed on your pharmacy label. Concentration is different from the total amount in the vial.

Label guide

How to read your vial label

Before you calculate, find the medication strength on your pharmacy label. This tells you how much medication is in the liquid.

Concentration, calculated for you

For Other label format, Nudge calculates the concentration from the two amounts you enter.

Liquid volume, not vial size

Use the liquid volume stated alongside the medication amount on your label, not the size of the glass vial. If anything is unclear, confirm with your pharmacist or prescribing clinician.

The basics

Milligrams, milliliters and syringe markings explained

mg

mg tells you how much medication

Your prescribed dose is the amount of medication you take, measured in milligrams.

mL

mL tells you how much liquid

The calculator determines the liquid volume corresponding to your prescribed dose using the concentration you enter.

mg/mL

Concentration connects the two

Concentration tells you how many milligrams are in a given volume of liquid. A more concentrated solution contains more medication in each mL, so the same prescribed dose requires less liquid.

units

Syringe markings measure that liquid

On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units equals 1 mL and 50 units equals 0.5 mL. These markings measure volume, not milligrams of medication.

The same syringe marking can represent different doses when the concentration changes. Always check the label on each new vial.
