Ovagen (20 mg Vial)

Ovagen (20 mg Vial) is supplied as a lyophilized vial for laboratory research use. This page covers reconstitution volume, the resulting concentration, U-100 syringe equivalents and storage handling.

Quickstart

Reconstitute: Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 10 mg/mL (10,000 µg/mL) concentration.

Typical daily range: 10–150 µg once daily (gradual titration over 16 weeks).

Easy measuring: At 10 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 100 µg on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.

Notes

Practical considerations for consistency and safety. Use new sterile insulin syringes (30-unit or 50-unit preferred for low-volume accuracy); dispose in a sharps container. Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thighs, upper arms) to reduce local irritation. Inject slowly; wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle. Document daily dose and site rotation to maintain consistency. Label the vial with date/time of reconstitution, diluent volume, final concentration, and initials [4].
