This calculator doesn't work for SNAP-8. Doses for this one are set by body weight, or it comes ready-mixed. Ignore the numbers above — read the notes further down instead.

2Week-By-Week Plan — SNAP-8

not applicable
No week-by-week plan for SNAP-8. This one is dosed by body weight, comes ready-mixed, or only has a single dose reported — so there is nothing to work up through.

Common Questions — SNAP-8

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10 mg vial of SNAP-8?

Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg vial gives 3.33 mg/mL. That is the mix every number on this page is worked out from — change the water figure in the calculator and all the draw amounts update.

How many units on the syringe is a 500 mcg dose of SNAP-8?

At 3.33 mg/mL, a 500 mcg dose is 15 units on a 1 mL U-100 insulin syringe. One vial at that mix gives about 20 doses.

How strong is the evidence behind these SNAP-8 doses?

SNAP-8 is graded limited. The figures are sparse — a single programme or community-reported numbers. We grade every compound on this site so you can weigh the numbers accordingly — the full method is on our editorial policy page.
