Help with medicine dose?

Question

My son prescription says to give 130 mg of medicine every six hours but my dropper is in ml 's.Can anyone tell me how many mls that would be?

Answer 1

100 mg per 5 ml means there is 20 mg of medication in each ml (100/5=20).  That means if you give him 6 1/2 mls, he will receive 130 mg of medication (6.5 x 20 =130).

6 1/2 mls.

Hope that makes sense, and helps.

Answer 2

Look on the bottle to find out how many mg are in each mL.  should say something like 50mg/mL or 30mg/mL  Then we can help you with the math.  But you have to know what the concentration is.

Answer 3

go to google and put that in, you will get it in tsps,ml,tblesps, and everything.
