Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing
Subcutaneous Protocol (4 mL = ~12.5 mg/mL)
| Week / phase | Daily dose | Units per injection (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1–2 (Tolerance) | 2.5 mg (2500 mcg) | 20 units (0.20 mL) |
| Days 3+ (Standard) | 5 mg (5000 mcg) | 40 units (0.40 mL) |
| Alternative BID | 2.5 mg (2500 mcg) | 20 units (0.20 mL) |
Frequency: Twice daily, subcutaneously, at a consistent time.
Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 4 mL of bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.1
- Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid shaking to prevent foaming.2
- Gently swirl or roll until fully dissolved (clear solution).3
- Label with the reconstitution date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C, protected from light; use within 4 weeks.4

This section describes which dose a study or reference source used and what it measured. It is not a recommendation or an administration schedule. A trial dose belongs to its population, duration and supervision and does not transfer to anyone outside that context.
Supplies Needed
Per 50 mg vial: 4 mL of bacteriostatic water, one U-100 syringe per injection (plus one to reconstitute) and two alcohol swabs per injection.

5-Amino-1MQ Vial and Research Context
- Reconstitute: add 4 mL of bacteriostatic water to produce 12.5 mg/mL.
- Frequency in the source: twice daily, subcutaneously.
- Described range: schedules run from 2.5 mg (2500 mcg) to 5 mg (5000 mcg) per injection.
- Easy measuring: 1 U-100 unit = 0.01 mL = 125 mcg.
- Vial size: the 50 mg label is total nominal content, not a per-injection amount.
- Vial coverage: at 2.5 mg (2500 mcg) per injection one vial supplies 20 injections; at 5 mg (5000 mcg) it supplies 10. These are mass calculations, not storage periods.
Protocol Overview
Quick reference for the schedules shared by the cited literature.
- Frequency: twice daily.
- Concentration: 50 mg in 4 mL = 12.5 mg/mL.
- Unit conversion: 1 U-100 unit = 125 mcg.
Dosing Schedule
The tables keep each approach separate.
- Subcutaneous Protocol: 2.5 mg (2500 mcg), 5 mg (5000 mcg), 2.5 mg (2500 mcg), in phases (twice daily).
- Measurement: use the units and mL shown beside each amount.
Storage Instructions
- Lyophilized (unopened): −20 °C for long-term storage; 2–8 °C if used within weeks. Protected from light.
- Reconstituted: 2–8 °C, do not freeze. Use within the documented period (typically up to 4 weeks with bacteriostatic water).
- Handling: do not shake; avoid temperature cycling; label with date and concentration.
- Discard: cloudy solutions, particulates or expired preparations are discarded.
More detail in the storage guide (Spanish).
Important Notes
- Research only: the referenced compounds are sold for laboratory research. Nothing here is medical advice or an administration schedule.
- Above 100 units: a 1 mL U-100 syringe cannot hold them; split across syringes or reconstitute with less volume.
- Accuracy: concentration depends on the actual volume added; measure the diluent with a syringe, not by eye.
- Verification: confirm vial contents against the batch certificate of analysis before calculating.
Injection Technique in Research
- Route in the studies: subcutaneous, in abdominal or thigh adipose tissue, rotating the site.
- Syringe: 1 mL U-100 (100 units); read in units, not mL.
- Asepsis: alcohol swab on the stopper and the site; a new syringe per injection.
- Drawing: purge air, draw the units from the chart and verify before withdrawing the needle from the vial.
