Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. There is no such thing as a silly question. If we don't ask, how will we learn?

The measurement of a unit varies depending upon the medication and is always listed on the vial. There is no direct conversion of unit to milliliter because of variations in the concentration of the medication in the vial.

For example, there is one milligram of regular insulin in one unit. Heparin sodium for injection contains USP 2000 and 2500 USP Units/mL.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards,
Maryann
