u 100

[ryjenn]

can someone explain the hash marks on the u 100 syringe?
i know each small slash is a mcg but how are the iu's measured,they are not clearly marked.
want to get ALL the info before proceeding on slin

a small hash on most 100iu slin syringes is .02ml. it has nothing to do with mcg's, which is a function of the concentration of your drug. slin is at 100iu/ml, so each hash is 2iu. forget about mcg/mg's with slin; you'll just confuse yourself(2.6iu = 1 mg slin).
