5-Amino-1MQ from the vial is injected under the skin once a day, in the morning. It starts at 2.5 mg a day for the first 2 days, then 5 mg a day. A course runs 8 to 12 weeks, then rests for 4 to 6 weeks. The same compound in capsule form is taken by mouth at 50 to 100 mg each morning.
Dose calculator
Change any box to work out a different amount.
How it works: strength per mL = vial strength ÷ water added. mL to draw = dose ÷ strength per mL. Units on a U-100 insulin syringe = mL × 100 (1 mL = 100 units). Doses per vial = vial strength ÷ dose. 1 mg = 1000 mcg.
Your personal schedule is set after we review your survey.
