DexamethASONE (dex) is a catabolic steroid. It breaks down the body's muscle, increases fat deposits and supresses the immune system. It has many other more subtle effects depending on dose and is opposite of a catabolic steroid.

A cc (cubic centimeter) is one mililiter. The dose a horse would get depends on the concentration of the solution. i.e. how many milligrams (mg's) of dexamethazone are within one CC. Most dex comes in 2-4 mg/ml concentrations.

The amount of dex you should give depends on the horses weight (most are about 500kg) and what effect you are trying to achieve - anti-inflammatory (COPD) versus immunosuppresive doses.

Assuming you have a 500kg horse, a 2 mg/ml dex solution and want to achieve an anti-inflammatory dose you should probably give about 10 cc's 2-3 times per day.

Give 250000 units of Penicillin from a solution containing 1000000 units in 2 cc. How many cc. would you give?

To administer 250,000 units of Penicillin from a solution containing 1,000,000 units in 2 cc, you would need to calculate the proportion: (250,000 units / 1,000,000 units) * 2 cc = 0.5 cc. Therefore, you would administer 0.5 cc of the solution.


How many 100 mg tablets will be needed to make 500 cc of a 1250 solution?

To prepare a 1250 mg/cc solution, you need a total of 1250 mg for every cc of solution. For 500 cc, you would need 1250 mg/cc x 500 cc = 625,000 mg. Since each tablet contains 100 mg, you would need 625,000 mg ÷ 100 mg/tablet = 6,250 tablets.


How many cc's should you give if you have 50mg?

To determine how many cc's (cubic centimeters) to administer for 50 mg, you need to know the concentration of the solution, which is typically expressed in mg per cc. For example, if the concentration is 10 mg/cc, you would give 5 cc (50 mg ÷ 10 mg/cc). If you have a different concentration, simply divide 50 mg by the mg per cc value to find the appropriate volume in cc's.

How many mg to cc?

Well, mg (milligrams) is a mass measurement and cc (cubic centimeters) is a volume measurement. If we are talking about pure water and approximating, there are approximately 1000 mg of water (at 4 degrees celsius) in one cc. For other substances, the answer will depend on the density of the substance. Be careful, though. If a substance like water is used as a solvent for something (let's say, compound X), you need to know the concentration of compound X in the solution to determine how many milligrams of X are in 1 cc of the solution. So we really need more information for a reliable answer.
