Available Vial Sizes

20 mg/mL Tirzepatide Vials

The total amount of medication in the vial changes, but the dose-to-unit conversion remains the same when the concentration is 20 mg/mL.

30 mg vial 1.5 mL total
60 mg vial 3 mL total
90 mg vial 4.5 mL total
120 mg vial 6 mL total
150 mg vial 7.5 mL total
180 mg vial 9 mL total

Understanding the Conversion

Why the Units Stay the Same Across Every Vial Size

The number printed on the vial, such as 30 mg or 180 mg, tells you the total amount of medication in the vial. It does not change the dose conversion when the concentration remains 20 mg/mL.

Dose in mg × 5 = U-100 syringe units

For example, a prescribed 5 mg dose from a 20 mg/mL vial equals 25 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
