Cost and dosing math for GLP-1 medications

Convert milligrams to syringe units, build a titration schedule, and compare what each option actually costs per month and per milligram. Free, no account, no medical advice — just the arithmetic and the published dosing schedules.

U-100 syringe. Formula: (dose ÷ concentration) × 100.

Vial concentration (mg/mL)

12.5units on a U-100 syringe

= 0.125 mL · 2.5 mg at 20 mg/mL

Check the concentration printed on the vial you are actually holding. The same dose in milligrams is a completely different mark on the syringe at a different concentration. If the number here does not match what your prescriber told you, trust your prescriber.

What this site is

GLP1Meter is a set of calculators. The dosing schedules come from the published prescribing information for each product; the conversions are arithmetic. We do not sell medication, do not prescribe, and cannot tell you what dose is right for you — that is your prescriber’s job, and nothing here replaces it.
