If you take 100 milligrams of a pill a day and need to switch to liquid how many milliliters would this be?

Answer 1

The terms milligrams (mg) and milliliters (ml) are measure of mass (weight) and volume, respectively. It's apples and Oranges. It is true that 1 mg of water equals 1 ml of water, but that water. To discover anything else, we need the density of the material in question. A a liquid measure of a medication has "other ingredients" in it. Consider a simple solution of table salt. Take an 8 ounce glass. You could put 1, 2, 3, or more teaspoons of salt in it and have a solution. This is the nature of the question here. There may be a conversion available to someone who know the concentration of the "active ingredient" in the substance in question, like a pharmacist. But the man on the street or even a knowledgeable investigator will need more information to offer a suggestion. And with medicine, a guess is not a good idea. Call your chemist and get the scoop from someone who has trained and has a computer and data base set up for questions like this one.
