Usually 1mg.

All the NHS dose ones are 1mg.

Pascoe brand ampoules (used to?) come in 1mg and 1.5mg. For years I have bought and used the 1.5mg ones for daily SI. Some people have recently found they are the only ones available.

These come in 1ml of liquid. There are some brand(s) that come in 2ml of liquid and we usually avoid those as there's no point injecting more liquid than you need - it's the active ingredient in mg that's important.

Hope this helps and answers your question.
