Math help mixing/reconstituting GH

Hi,

I am still confused of what i have in the GH vial after reconstituting it with the h2o.

The GH is a 10IU vial and I have mixed it with 2ml of h2o. What do I have in the vial now and if I want to do 1 to 1.5 IU in the am and 1 to 1.5 IU in the pm how much do I load in the small 1/2 cc slin seringe? This slin seringe has markings from 5,10,15 up to 50 units on it....what does that mean? I am so confused!

Can anyone help please? Math or problem solving were never my strenghts :(

Right on RedBaron, thanks much for the help.....you explained it good enough for my small cerebelum lol

Thanks again

On an insulin syringe, this will equate to the markings on your syringe. Draw up to the 20, and you will have 1 IU of HGH. Draw up to the 30, and you will have 1.5 IU's.

I used 1ml of dilutent for a 10 iu vial, so if I draw up to the 20 that is 2 iu's is that correct?
