• gram
• milligram
• kilogram
• micogram

g> mg> mcg

• 1g = 1000mg
• 1000g= 1kg
• 1 mg = 1000 mcg
• 1 g = 10,000 mcg

large to small (g to mg) - multiply by 1000 - move decimal place to the RIGHT

small to large (mg to g) - divide by 1000- move decimal place to the LEFT

Apothecary ounce - liquid measure

slighly more than a household ounce

• one ounce = 32 mL
• i℥ = 32 mL

Dram - liquid measure

• 1 Dram = 4 mL
• ℨi = 4 mL

one half (apothecary)

DO NOT USE

100

• 15 gr = 1000 mg = 1 g
• (know this - math dosent work out 15x 60 = 900)

gr vii ss (7.5 grains)

3 gr = 200 mg

1. 5 gr = 100 mg

• 1 oz = 8 dr
• 1 oz = 30 mL
• 1 apothecary oz (℥)= 32 mL

1 tsp

15 mL = 1 tbsp = 1/2 fl oz = 4 drams

30 mL = 2 tbsp = 1 fl oz = 8 drams

500 mL = 1 pint = 1/2 quart

1000 mL = 1L = 1 quart = 2 pints

F = (C x 9/5) + 32

C = (F-32) x 5/9

milliquivalent (used to measure the amount of solute per liter)
