The short answer
Mixed with 1 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride (as its label directs), a 10 mg vial of Thymalin holds 10 mg/mL. A 10 mg dose is then 100 units (1.00 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe, and the vial holds about 1 doses of that size. Taken 1× per day, it lasts about 1 days.
How much water
The liquid only sets the strength; the dose and the number of doses in the vial stay the same. Draws are on a U-100 insulin syringe, where 1 unit is 0.01 mL.
| Water added | Strength | Per syringe unit | Draw for 10 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 100 mcg | 100 units (1.00 mL) |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 2.00 mL |
| 3 mL | 3.333 mg/mL | 33.3 mcg | 3.00 mL |

Draws over 100 units show in mL. Faded values are under 2 units, which is hard to measure. Check that your vial holds the larger volumes.
Where the doses come from
- Label 5–20 mg IM once daily for 3–10 days (30–100 mg per course). For prevention: 5–10 mg daily for 3–5 days.
Doses are what labels, trials or community reports reference, not recommendations. Thymalin’s page has the cycle, side effects, cautions and sources.
Mixing and storage
- PrepareLet a refrigerated vial come to room temperature, and wipe both stoppers with an alcohol swab.
- Add 1 mLDraw 1 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride (as its label directs) and let it run slowly down the inside wall of the vial.
- Swirl, don’t shakeSwirl gently until the powder dissolves and the liquid is clear.
- Label itWrite the date and the strength, 10 mg/mL, on the vial.
Storage: Powder: protected from light, at 2–25 °C (label). Mix just before use.

Questions
How much water do I add to a 10 mg vial of Thymalin?
There’s no single right amount: the liquid only sets the strength. With 1 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride (as its label directs), a 10 mg vial holds 10 mg/mL. With 2 mL it’s 5 mg/mL; with 3 mL it’s 3.333 mg/mL. Less liquid makes each dose a smaller draw; more makes small doses easier to measure.
How many units is 10 mg of Thymalin?
With 1 mL in a 10 mg vial, 10 mg is 100 units (1.00 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 2 mL, 2.00 mL; with 3 mL, 3.00 mL.
How many doses are in a 10 mg vial of Thymalin?
About 1 doses of 10 mg, or 0 of 15 mg or 0 of 20 mg. Taken 1× per day at 10 mg, it lasts about 1 days.
How long does a mixed vial of Thymalin keep?
Powder: protected from light, at 2–25 °C (label). Mix just before use.
