Pentosan Polysulfate Calculator
Pentosan Polysulfate (also known as PPS) reconstitution and dosage reference — calculate vial concentration, BAC water volume, and exact syringe units below.
Also known as: PPS, Elmiron
At the reference preset of a 200mg Pentosan Polysulfate vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, a 50mg dose measures 50 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Pentosan polysulfate sodium is a semi-synthetic sulfated polysaccharide.

How to use this calculator›
- 1. Vial — the peptide amount printed on the vial, in milligrams.
- 2. BAC water — the bacteriostatic water added to the vial. More water means a lower concentration and a larger, easier-to-read draw.
- 3. Dose — the single dose being measured, in milligrams.
- 4. Syringe — the barrel being drawn into. The diagram rescales to that syringe, so the same dose sits at a different mark on a 0.3 mL barrel than on a U-100.

What is Pentosan Polysulfate?
Pentosan polysulfate sodium is a semi-synthetic sulfated polysaccharide. Oral PPS (Elmiron) is FDA-approved for interstitial cystitis. Subcutaneous compounded forms are used off-label for joint and connective-tissue indications.
| 100 mg | lyophilized powder |
| 200 mg | lyophilized powder |
| 25 mg | ≈ 25 U-100 units (at 200mg / 2mL) |
| 50 mg | ≈ 50 U-100 units (at 200mg / 2mL) |
| 100 mg | ≈ 100 U-100 units (at 200mg / 2mL) |
