Question

A patient takes 30 units of Lantus, It comes in a 100U/ML vial, how many days will the medicine last?

Answer 1

Assuming its a 10 ml bottle then there are 1000 units per bottle.

1000 units divided by 30 units a day = 33.3 days.

So the bottle will last 33.3 days but the manufacturer recommends discarding the vial of Lantus 28 days after opening.
