Frequently asked questions
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to DSIP?
For a 5mg vial of DSIP, add 2ml of bacteriostatic water. This concentration works well with a standard insulin syringe.
What is the typical DSIP dosage?
Typical research dosages for DSIP range from 100 to 300 mcg, administered 1x daily, 30 min before bed.
How long does reconstituted DSIP last?
Reconstituted DSIP should be stored at 2-8°C refrigerated and used within 14 days. Unreconstituted vials can be stored for up to 24 months.
How do I calculate my DSIP dose?
Divide your target dose by the concentration to get the volume, then multiply by 100 for units on a U-100 insulin syringe. For example, a 5mg vial in 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2500 mcg/ml. The calculator above does this automatically once you enter your vial size, water volume, and desired dose.
How many units of DSIP should I draw on an insulin syringe?
On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 unit equals 0.01 ml regardless of the barrel size (0.3ml, 0.5ml, or 1ml). Enter your reconstitution details in the calculator to see the exact number of units to draw for your dose.
