Conversion info for going from 3ml to 1ml syrings

WrenchHead80 · Feb 7, 2018

I started with 3ml syringes. My RX script was for taking 1ml (200mg TestC) once a week. I started with spacing that does out in half. So I used to bring it out to the 1/2ml mark for 100mg of TestC. Later I brought my does down to 80 so I would go to the mark before 1/2ml.

Now that I'm looking at this 1ml syringe, I want to make sure what mark to bring it to when I'm drawing. I want to inject 60mg of TestC. The bottle says 2000mg/10ml (200mg/ml). I'm thinking it should go to the 30units mark on the 1ml syringe? Is that correct? Thanks

You are correct

You're correct, so the 30 mark would actually be 60mg from a 200mg vial.

Thanks guys. Do most people use 1ml syringes for TRT?

Do to my lower doses (17.5mg EOD) I use 27 gauge insulin syringes and inject in shoulders for shallow IM.

Is that with a fixed 27gauge needle then (you draw and eject same needle)? and is it a 1cc syringe or 1/2cc? Just curious?

60 was the wrong number was thinking 180 a week but its supposed to be 160 in three shots now. So I need 54mg of TestC so I would look for the 27 mark on the syringe correct?

Thanks again

Same Here. Easy and pain free. I don't feel a thing.
WrenchHead, yes I think the most common syringe used for TRT injections is the 1 ML. 1ML = 100IU. Very precise dosing is possible with the insulin syringe. And yes, you can draw and inject with the same needle. Hope this helps a little.

Driven Mad and regretting it.
