Question

Is 10mg of lidocaine the same as 20cc?

Answer 1

maybe or maybe not, it depends on the strength of the liquid..... mg is a measure of weight, and cc is a measure of volume... it depends on the concentration of the liquid. call and ask the pharmacist for help rather than guessing.

Answer 2

Only if you have 0.05% lidocaine. The conversion for lidocaine ( or any medicine ) is simple. Multiply the percent solution by 10...that number of milligrams in a cc. If you have 2% lidocaine there would be 20 mg. in each cc.or 400 mg in 20 cc.
