So, we will talk about how to correctly calculate the dose of the drug for the child. We recall the school curriculum - how many milligrams are in a gram

In recipes, abbreviations are often used after the number of required ingredients - ml, g and mg and so on. You need to know how much it is if you translate one dimension into another in order to accurately use the components.

To do this, it is important to understand that each substance has certain physical properties, therefore there is no single correct answer to this question, it is required to use special measuring instruments or tables in order not to make mistakes in the calculations.

How much is 500 ml of water, milk and other liquids?

In order to answer this question, it is important to take into account that the calculations must be carried out at room temperature. Regarding milk, 500 ml is:

  • 0.5 l;
  • 2 glasses of 250 ml;
  • 2.4 cups of 200 ml;
  • 34 tablespoons;
  • 100 teaspoons;
  • 50 dessert spoons;
  • 485

The calculation is given for regular cow's milk (not heated). The same values ​​apply to water. The differences are that in grams this value will be 500, and there will be 28 tablespoons.

500 ml - how many grams?

You will have to calculate these values ​​for each product or liquid separately, since they depend on density. The most common ingredients in grams:

  • milk - 485 g;
  • water - 500 g;
  • vegetable oil - 460 g.

500 mg is how many ml?
If you are going to convert mg to ml, remember that the final value is determined based on the density of the product to be measured, since the volumes of substances will vary. The need to convert mg to ml is most often encountered when it comes to cooking or taking medications.

Milligrams differ when different substances are weighed. So for ordinary non-boiled water heated to room temperature, 500 mg will equal 500 ml (that is, 1: 1).

In turn, for cow's milk with a fat content of 3.2%, this figure should be divided by 1.03. It turns out that 500 mg of milk is 485.4 ml. The values ​​for oil will be as follows: 500 mg of oil - 548.85 mg (to be divided by 0.911).

500 grams of kefir is how many ml?

To answer this question, it should be taken into account that the density of kefir, the fat content of which is 3.2%, is 1031 kg / cu. m. Therefore, converting the value of 500 grams to ml, a value equal to 481 ml is obtained.

500 ml of water, milk - how many glasses?
Regarding water and milk, the values ​​\u200b\u200bwill be as follows - 500 ml - 2 cups. Their volume should be 250 ml (to the edge).

For convenience, you can remember the amount of the product in a glass, teaspoon or tablespoon, or use special containers with values ​​\u200b\u200bfor different ingredients printed on the walls. There should be no difficulties in the calculations, and the quality of cooking will improve markedly.

Treatment of stable angina pectoris.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any excipient of the drug.
Severe renal failure (creatinine clearance<30 мл / мин).
Liver failure moderate or severe.
Co-administration of potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, HIV protease inhibitors, clarithromycin, telithromycin, nefazodone).

Dosage and administration

Tablets should be swallowed whole (not crushed, broken, chewed). The drug can be taken with or without food.

Adults. The recommended initial dose of Ranex is 500 mg 2 times a day. After 2-4 weeks, the dose, if necessary, can be increased to 1000 mg 2 times a day. The maximum recommended dose is 1000 mg twice daily. If the patient has adverse reactions caused by the use of the drug (for example, dizziness, nausea, vomiting), then the dose may be reduced to 500 mg. Treatment is stopped if adverse reactions do not go away.

Simultaneous use with CYP3A4 inhibitors of medium power (for example, diltiazem, fluconazole, erythromycin) and P-gp inhibitors (for example, verapamil, cyclosporine). If patients receive these drugs, careful and careful dose selection is recommended.

Renal failure. Patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance ≥ 30-80 ml / min) are recommended careful and careful dose selection.

Liver failure. Patients with mild hepatic insufficiency are advised to carefully and carefully select the dose.

Elderly patients. Dose selection in this category of patients should be carried out with caution due to the fact that in old age, an age-related decrease in kidney function is possible, and the action of ranolazine may increase. Elderly patients have an increased incidence of adverse reactions.

Low body weight. An increased incidence of adverse reactions is typical for patients with low body weight (≤ 60 kg), so the dose selection for this category of patients should be carried out with caution.

Congestive heart failure (CHF). Dose selection should be carried out with caution in patients with moderate or severe CHF (NYHA III-IV classes).

Adverse reactions

Adverse reactions are usually mild or moderate in severity and often occur during the first 2 weeks of treatment. The following are adverse reactions associated with the use of the drug, classified by body systems, organ classes and absolute frequency. The frequency was determined as follows: very often (≥ 1/10), often (≥ 1/100 to<1/10), нечасто (≥ 1/1000 до <1/100), редко (≥ 1/10000 до <1 / 1000), очень редко (<1/10000).

Old age, renal insufficiency and low body weight.

In general, adverse reactions occurred more frequently among elderly patients and patients with renal insufficiency, however, the types of events in these subgroups were similar to those observed in the general group of patients. In elderly patients (³ 75 years), compared with younger patients, when using the drug, adverse reactions such as constipation, nausea, arterial hypotension, and vomiting were more common.

In patients with mild or moderate renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance ³ 30-80 ml / min), compared with patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance> 80 ml / min), constipation, nausea, vomiting occurred more often when using the drug.

As a rule, the type and frequency of adverse reactions observed in patients with low body weight (≤ 60 kg) were similar to similar reactions in patients with higher body weight (≤ 60 kg), however, in patients with low body weight, placebo adjusted frequency was higher for common events such as nausea, vomiting, and hypotension.

Laboratory research methods.

In healthy volunteers and in patients treated with Ranexa, a slight reversible increase in serum creatinine was noted, which has no clinical significance. Renal failure was not associated with this event. A study of the kidneys in healthy volunteers showed a decrease in creatinine clearance in the absence of changes in glomerular filtration rate, which is consistent with inhibition of renal tubular secretion of creatinine.

Post marketing experience.

As part of post-marketing experience, there were no reports of the occurrence of acute renal failure, including in patients with a pre-existing decrease in renal function of mild or moderate severity, and / or in those who used medicinal products known to interact with ranolazine concomitantly with Ranexa.

Overdose

When studying the tolerability of increasing the dose of the drug used orally by patients with angina pectoris, the incidence of dizziness, nausea, and vomiting increased in accordance with the dose. In case of overdose, the patient should be closely monitored; symptomatic and supportive therapy is recommended. Since approximately 62% of ranolazine binds to plasma proteins, complete elimination during hemodialysis is unlikely.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

The necessary data on the use of ranolazine in pregnant women are not available, and the data that have been obtained as a result of animal experiments are insufficient to assess the effect on pregnancy and embryo development. The potential risk to humans is unknown. Ranex should not be used during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.

It is not known if ranolazine passes into breast milk. The excretion of ranolazine in breast milk has not been studied in animals, so Ranex should not be used in women during breastfeeding.

Children

Application features

Care should be taken when using or increasing the dose of ranolazine in patients for whom an increase in its action can be expected, under such conditions:

    • simultaneous appointment of CYP3A4 inhibitors of moderate strength;
    • concomitant administration of P-gp inhibitors;
    • mild liver failure;
    • renal failure of mild or moderate severity (creatinine clearance 30-80 ml / min);
    • advanced age of the patient;
    • low body weight (≤ 60 kg);
    • Moderate or severe CHF (NYHA III-IV classes).

In patients who have several of the above factors, an additional increase in action can be expected. Adverse reactions may occur, depending on the dose. When using ranolazine in patients with a combination of several of the above factors, frequent monitoring of adverse reactions should be carried out, and if necessary, the dose of ranolazine should be reduced or discontinued.

The risk of increased action of ranolazine, which leads to an increase in the frequency of adverse reactions in the above groups, is increased in patients with insufficient CYP2D6 activity (patients with reduced metabolism) compared with patients with normal CYP2D6 activity (patients with intensive metabolism). The above cautions are designed to take into account the possible risk for patients with reduced metabolism of CYP2D6 and should be taken into account when the status of CYP2D6 metabolism is unknown. For patients with intensive metabolism of CYP2D6, such reservations are of less importance. In patients for whom a normal CYP2D6 metabolic status has been determined (eg, by genotyping) or previously known, ranolazine may be used with caution when the patient has several of the above risk factors.

Prolongation of the QT interval.

Care must be taken when treating patients with a history of congenital long QT interval syndrome or with a family history of hereditary prolongation of the QT interval or with a known acquired prolongation of the QT interval, as well as patients receiving treatment with drugs that affect the duration of the QT interval (see Sections "Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction” and “Pharmacological properties”).

Renal failure.

Kidney function declines with age, so it is important to check it regularly while using ranolazine.

Lactose. This medicinal product contains lactose and should therefore not be used in patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or malabsorption of glucose and galactose.

The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving vehicles or operating other mechanisms

Ranolazine may cause dizziness and blurred vision, which may affect the ability to drive or use machines.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Effect of other medicinal products on ranolazine.

CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors.

Ranolazine is a substrate of CYP3A4, therefore inhibitors of CYP3A4 increase plasma concentrations of ranolazine. With an increase in its plasma concentration, the manifestation of potential adverse reactions that depend on the dose (for example, nausea, dizziness) may increase. The simultaneous use of ketoconazole at a dose of 200 mg 2 times a day increases the AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) of ranolazine by 3-3.9 times. Grapefruit juice is also a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4.

Diltiazem (180-360 mg 1 time per day), an inhibitor of CYP3A4 of medium power, increases, depending on the dose, the average equilibrium concentration of ranolazine by 1.5-2.4 times. For patients who use diltiazem and other CYP3A4 medium power (for example, erythromycin, fluconazole), careful and careful dose selection of Ranex is recommended. You may need to reduce the dose of the drug.

Ranolazine is a P-gp substrate. P-gp inhibitors (eg, cyclosporine, verapamil) increase ranolazine plasma concentrations. Verapamil (120 mg 3 times a day) increases the equilibrium concentration of ranolazine in blood plasma by 2.2 times. For patients taking P-gp inhibitors, careful and careful dose selection of Ranex is recommended. You may need to reduce the dose of the drug.

CYP3A4 inductors

Rifampicin (600 mg once daily) reduces steady-state concentrations of ranolazine by approximately 95%. You should not start treatment with Ranexa when using CYP3A4 inducers (rifampicin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, St. John's wort).

CYP2D6 inhibitors.

Ranolazine is partially metabolized by CYP2D6, so CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase ranolazine plasma concentrations. A powerful inhibitor of CYP2D6 paroxetine (20 mg 1 time per day) increases the average equilibrium concentration of ranolazine in plasma by 1.2 times (when using ranolazine 1000 mg 2 times a day). Dose adjustment is not required. At a dose of ranolazine 500 mg twice daily, co-administration of a potent inhibitor of CYP2D6 may result in an increase in ranolazine AUC of approximately 62%.

Effect of ranolazine on other medicinal products.

Ranolazine is a moderate to strong inhibitor of P-gp and a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4, and therefore may increase plasma concentrations of these enzyme substrates. The distribution of drugs transported by P-gp may also increase. Available data suggest that ranolazine is a weak inhibitor of CYP2D6. The use of ranolazine 750 mg 2 times a day increases the concentration of metoprolol in blood plasma by 1.8 times, therefore, with their simultaneous use, the effect of metoprolol or other CYP2D6 substrates (for example, propafenone, flecainide; to a lesser extent, this applies to tricyclic antidepressants and neuroleptics) ), so a dose reduction of these drugs may be required. The potential for CYP2B6 inhibition has not been established. Caution is advised when ranolazine is co-administered with CYP2B6 substrates (eg, bupropion, efavirenz, cyclophosphamide).

Digoxin.

There is evidence of an increase in the concentration of digoxin in the blood plasma by an average of 1.5 times with simultaneous use with Ranex, so it is necessary to monitor the level of digoxin at the beginning and at the end of the use of Ranex.

Simvastatin.

The metabolism and clearance of simvastatin are largely dependent on CYP3A4. The use of the drug Ranex 1000 mg 2 times a day increases the concentration of simvastatin lactone, simvastatin acid and the activity of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor in blood plasma by 1.4-1.6 times.

With the simultaneous use of ranolazine and other drugs that prolong the QT interval, pharmacodynamic interactions may occur and the risk of developing ventricular arrhythmias may increase. These drugs include some antihistamines (eg, terfenadine, astemizole, mizolastine), some antiarrhythmics (eg, quinidine, disopyramide, procainamide), erythromycin, and cyclic antidepressants (eg, imipramine, doxepin, amitriptyline).

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics. Until now, the mechanism of action of ranolazine remains largely unknown. Ranolazine may have some antianginal effect by inhibiting the late flow of sodium ions into myocardial cells, reduces intracellular accumulation of sodium, and, accordingly, reduces the excess of intracellular calcium ions. It is believed that ranolazine, by reducing the late current of sodium ions, reduces intracellular ion imbalance during ischemia. This reduction in excess intracellular calcium would be expected to promote myocardial relaxation and thus reduce gastric diastolic tension. Clinical evidence for inhibition of late sodium current by ranolazine is a significant reduction in the QT interval and a positive effect on diastolic relaxation in patients with long QT syndrome. These effects of the drug do not depend on a decrease in heart rate, on blood pressure or vasodilation.

Influence on hemodynamics. Conducted clinical studies have shown that in patients treated with ranolazine alone or in combination with other drugs intended for the treatment of angina pectoris, there was a decrease in the average heart rate (<2 ударов / мин) и среднего систолического артериального давления (<3 мм рт. ст.).

Effects seen on electrocardiography (ECG). Patients treated with this drug have experienced dose and plasma concentration-dependent QTc prolongation (approximately 6 ms at 1000 mg twice daily), decreased T-wave amplitude, and, in some cases, double-humped T-waves. that this effect of ranolazine on ECG characteristics is the result of inhibition of the fast potassium current, which prolongs the ventricular action potential, as well as inhibition of the late sodium current, which shortens the ventricular action potential. Studies have shown a dependence of QT interval prolongation on a concentration of 2.4 ms per 1000 ng/ml of ranolazine in plasma, which is approximately equal to the prolongation from 2 to 7 ms for the concentration range, respectively, with a dosage of 500 to 1000 mg twice a day. The elongation rate was higher in patients with clinically significant liver failure.

Pharmacokinetics. After oral administration of the drug Ranexa, the maximum concentration of ranolazine in the blood plasma, as a rule, is observed after 2-6 hours. In the application 2 times a day, the equilibrium state, as a rule, is reached within 3 days. Suction. The average bioavailability of ranolazine after oral administration of immediate release tablets is 35-50%, with a high degree of individual variability. The effect of Ranex increases depending on the dose. When the dose is increased from 500 to 1000 mg 2 times a day, a 2.5-3-fold increase in AUC is observed at steady state. Eating time does not affect the speed and completeness of absorption.

Distribution. Approximately 62% of ranolazine binds to plasma proteins. The mean volume of distribution at steady state (V ss) is approximately 180 liters.

Conclusion. Ranolazine is excreted mainly by the metabolic route. Less than 5% of the dose is excreted in the urine and feces unchanged. After oral administration of a single dose of 500 mg of radiocarbon-labelled [ 14 C] ranolazine in a healthy person, 73% of the radioactivity is determined in the urine and 25% in the feces. The clearance of ranolazine is dose dependent, decreasing with dose increase. The half-life is approximately 2-3 hours after administration. The terminal half-life at steady state after oral administration of ranolazine is approximately 7:00, which is due to the limitation of the withdrawal rate by rapid absorption.

Metabolism. Ranolazine experiences rapid and extensive metabolism. In young healthy volunteers, after a single oral dose of 500 mg of radioactive carbon labeled ranolazine, 13% of the radioactivity is found in plasma. A large number of metabolites have been found in human plasma (47 metabolites), urine (> 100 metabolites) and feces (25 metabolites). 14 major metabolic pathways have been identified, of which O-demethylation and N-dealkylation are the most important. In vitro studies using human liver microsomes have shown that ranolazine is metabolized by CYP3A4 as well as CYP2D6. When using 500 mg ranolazine 2 times a day in people with insufficient CYP2D6 activity, the AUC exceeds the same value in people with normal CYP2D6 activity by 62%. The corresponding difference for the 1000 mg twice daily dose was 25%.

Special groups of patients.

Gender influence. Gender has no clinical significance for pharmacokinetic parameters.

Elderly patients. Old age also has no clinical effect on pharmacokinetic parameters, however, in elderly patients, an increased effect of ranolazine may be observed due to age-related decline in renal function.

Body mass. In persons weighing 40 kg, the effect of ranolazine is approximately 1.4 times greater than in persons weighing 70 kg.

Congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF (NYHA III-IV classes) leads to an increase in the concentration of ranolazine in the blood plasma by 1.3 times.

Renal failure. Studies have shown that in patients with mild, moderate or severe renal insufficiency, the AUC was on average 1.7-2 times higher than in patients with normal renal function. Significant individual variability in AUC was also noted in individuals with renal insufficiency. The AUC of metabolites increases with a decrease in renal function. The studies revealed an increase in the effect of ranolazine by 1.2 times in patients with moderate renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance 40 ml / min) and 1.3-1.8 times in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance 10-30 ml / min).

Liver failure. There is no experience with the use of ranolazine in patients with severe hepatic impairment. In patients with mild hepatic insufficiency, the AUC value of ranolazine does not change, and in patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency, the AUC value increases by 1.8 times. These patients had a more pronounced increase in the QT interval.

Storage conditions

When we graduate, we often forget a lot of what we have been through in the program. For example, not everyone remembers how many milligrams are in a gram. However, this knowledge is sometimes simply necessary in everyday life. For example, the correct dosage of various components in cooking, medicine, and cosmetology often depends precisely on how well we have mastered the system for transferring mass from kilograms to grams, from grams to milligrams. Treating this lightly, you can easily spoil the result. After all, it is much easier to figure out how much and where to add, knowing how many milligrams are in a gram. Small values ​​are often used when working with small volumes of substances, and it is very important not to confuse the ratio. Even on the Internet, you can sometimes find statements that confidently say that a gram contains 100 milligrams. But it is quite possible that, after reading such a post, the other person will simply make a mistake with the calculations. So, how many milligrams are there in a gram? And how to do the calculations right?

A milligram is a thousandth of a gram. The meaning of the prefix "milli" means 10 to the -3 power, respectively, indicating one thousandth. That is, one gram consists of one thousand milligrams.

Unit converter

In fact, it is not difficult to translate these quantities even without a calculator. To do this, it is quite enough to use the most elementary knowledge of arithmetic.

In order to make it easier to understand how many milligrams are in 1 gram, I will present an illustrative example:

1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams

And vice versa:

1 milligram is equal to 0.001 grams

It follows that:

1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams, which is equal to 1,000,000 milligrams

With the help of such a simple table, you can correctly calculate the amount of substances.

Knowing how many milligrams are in one gram is necessary if you want to follow the recipes of various cosmetics and medicines correctly. After all, situations often arise when we can quite understand all the subtleties and nuances on our own, however, ignorance of how many milligrams are in a gram and well-founded uncertainty about the correctness of the calculations makes it difficult to find a rational solution.

Suppose you need to give medicine to a small child. But it is known that the dosage of some drugs is quite strictly different in adults and babies. In this case, the most difficult thing is to choose the required dose, which will not cause any side effects and negative effects on health, for very young children, up to three years old. Having a whole tablet and knowing its standard weight, as well as the amount of active substance, you can easily do this. In an example, it looks like this.

The weight of the tablet is 500 milligrams. The pediatric dose of this drug is 0.25 grams. Difficult? Not at all. One has only to use the elementary school formula, as everything will fall into place. You can use two different ways to convert values ​​- from grams to milligrams or vice versa. Here is the result:

500 milligrams = 0.5 grams. And you only need 0.25. We divide the tablet into two parts and get the right dose of the necessary medicine.

You can also do the opposite:

0.25 grams = 250 milligrams

The result is two numbers - 500 milligrams and 250 milligrams. And now it is much easier to understand how to properly divide the pill.

I will give a few more examples of converting grams to milligrams and vice versa.

0.12 grams = 120 milligrams.

540 milligrams = 0.54 grams

0.03 grams = 30 milligrams

36 milligrams = 0.036 grams

Here's how you can easily deal with such obscure quantities. There is no need to divide or multiply if you understand the number of zeros correctly. In the version with 540 milligrams, 0.54 grams can be obtained by simply moving the separating comma forward three digits, which means three zeros in 1000. Did you forget that there are 1000 milligrams in one gram? And in the case of converting 0.03 grams to milligrams, the comma moves back three digits and the missing zero is added. 0.030 = 30.

You can't just count milligrams into teaspoons. As far as I understand, the medicine is liquid? Every solution has a concentration. that is, in a certain volume of solution there is a certain amount of substance. First you need to understand how much (in milligrams) of the substance is contained in a milliliter, liter, one hundred milliliters of a solution. only then calculate how many milliliters to take so that there is 200 mg. Now about spoons: everyone's spoons are different. having understood how much volume you need, measure it with the same syringe. It is inconvenient to do this all the time, so "calibrate" the spoon by pouring the desired volume into it once and noticing the level.

Baby, are you sick? I will be soon!!!

HOW MUCH MEDICINE IS IN THE TINCTURE OR SOLUTION? For liquid dosage forms, the dosage is often indicated as 1 teaspoon (5 ml). Example: the doctor has prescribed to take the medicine in the form of a syrup or suspension. On the package or in the annotation it is indicated - 15 mg / 5 ml. This means that 1 teaspoon contains 15 mg of the drug. Accordingly, if you are prescribed a single dose of 30 mg, then for 1 dose you should take 2 teaspoons of syrup. Often in liquid dosage forms, the content of the drug in the entire volume of the solution or syrup is indicated. Example: the annotation indicates that the vial contains 80 mg of the active substance, and the packaging is 160 ml. In this case, the drug is recommended to take 1 teaspoon 2 times a day. We are engaged in calculating the dose in 1 ml: for this, the dose of the substance in the entire volume must be divided by the entire volume of the liquid. That is: 80 mg / 160 ml = 0.5 mg in 1 ml. Knowing that a teaspoon holds 5 ml, we multiply the result by 5. That is: 0.5 X 5 mg \u003d 2.5 mg. Therefore, 1 teaspoon (single dose) contains 2.5 mg of active ingredient.

How many milligrams in 1 gram: calculation and answer

Sometimes the dose of the active substance is indicated relative to 100 ml or 100 mg. The calculations in this case are similar to the previous ones. How to count if the dose is given per 100 g of liquid? Example: the annotation states that 100 g of the finished solution contains 40 mg of the active substance. We take into account that 100 g is 20 teaspoons of 5 ml. And now we are doing the calculations: the indicated dose of the substance (40 mg) is divided by 20. That is: 40 mg / 20 = 2 mg. Therefore, the dose of the drug in 1 teaspoon of the finished solution is 2 mg

Measures of the volume of liquids

1 teaspoon = 5 ml.

1 dessert spoon = 2 teaspoons = 10 ml.

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 15 ml.

Composition - 15 mg / 5 ml. (indicated on the package or in the instructions) This means that 1 teaspoon contains 15 mg. medicinal product.

If you are prescribed a single dose of 15 mg, then you should take 1 teaspoon of syrup at a time.

If you are prescribed a single dose of 30 mg, then you should take 2 teaspoons of syrup at a time.

The bottle contains 80 mg / 160 ml, where 80 mg is the active ingredient. In this case, the drug is recommended to take 1 teaspoon 2 times a day.

We calculate the dose in 1 ml: for this, the dose of the substance in the entire volume must be divided by the entire volume of the liquid:

80 mg divided by 160 ml = 0.5 mg in 1 ml.

Since a teaspoon holds 5 ml, we multiply the result by 5. That is: 0.5 mg X 5 \u003d 2.5 mg.

Therefore, 1 teaspoon (single dose) contains 2.5 mg. active substance.

The instructions indicate that 60 ml of the finished solution contains 3000 mg of the active substance.

And 60 ml is 12 teaspoons of 5 ml.

And now we are doing the calculations: the indicated dose of the substance is 3000 mg. divided by 12. That is: 3000 mg / 12 = 250 mg.

So 1 teaspoon of the finished solution is 250 mg.

100 mg. the active substance is contained in 5 ml.

In 1 ml. contains: 100 divided by 5 = 20 mg. active substance.

You need 150 mg.

We divide 150 mg by 20 mg - we get 7.5 ml.

1 ml aqueous solution - 20 drops

How many milligrams are in 1 gram?

alcohol solution - 40 drops

1 ml alcohol-ether solution - 60 drops

STANDARD DILUTION OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR INTRAMUSCULAR ADMINISTRATION

1 mg = 1000 mcg;

1 mcg = 1/1000 mg;

1000 mg = 1 g;

500 mg = 0.5 g;

100 mg = 0.1 g;

1% corresponds to 10 g/l and 10 mg/ml;

2% 20 g/l or 20 mg/ml;

1:1000 = 1 g/1000 ml = 1 mg/ml;

1:10,000 = 1 g/10,000 ml = 0.1 mg/ml or 100 µg/ml;

1:1,000,000 = 1 g/1,000,000 ml = 1 µg/ml

If the solvent is not provided in the package, then when diluting the antibiotic by 0.1 g (100,000 IU) of the powder, take 0.5 ml. solution.

So for breeding:

0.2 g. 1 ml is needed. solvent;

0.5 g. You need 2.5-3 ml. solvent;

1 g needs 5 ml. solvent;

In the vial of ampicillin is 0.5 g of dry drug. How much solvent should be taken to make 0.5 ml. the solution was 0.1 g of dry matter.

When diluting the antibiotic for 0.1 g of dry powder, take 0.5 ml. solvent, therefore:

0.1 g of dry matter - 0.5 ml. solvent

0.5 g of dry matter - X ml. solvent

Answer: to 0.5 ml. the solution was 0.1 g of dry matter, 2.5 ml should be taken. solvent.

In a vial of penicillin is 1,000,000 IU of a dry drug. How much solvent should be taken to make 0.5 ml. solution was 100,000 units of dry matter.

100,000 units of dry matter - 0.5 ml. dry matter

1 000 000 IU - X ml. solvent

Answer: so that in 0.5 ml of the solution there are 100,000 units. dry matter, you need to take 5 ml. solvent.

In the vial of oxacillin is 0.25 g of dry drug. How much solvent do you need to take in order to 1 ml. the solution was 0.1 g of dry matter.

1 ml solution - 0.1 g.

X ml. - 0.25 g.

Answer: so that in 1 ml. the solution was 0.1 g of dry matter, 2.5 ml should be taken. solvent.

The patient needs to enter 400,000 IU. penicillin. A bottle of 1,000,000 units. Dilute 1:1.

How many ml. solution must be taken.

When diluted 1:1 in 1 ml. solution contains 100,000 IU. 1 bottle of penicillin 1,000,000 IU. dilute 10 ml. solution.

If the patient needs to enter 400,000 units, then 4 ml must be taken. the resulting solution.

Often, five to ten years after graduation from school, the acquired knowledge fades somewhat in our memory. Most often this is due to the fact that we do not need to use them in real life. However, if the dates of birth of writers, complex chemical formulas and other specific knowledge are really hardly useful to us in everyday life, it makes sense to refresh some of the information obtained during your stay at the school bench. So, for example, do you remember how many milligrams are in a gram?

We ask about this not out of idle curiosity. Cooking, medicine, and cosmetology often work with small doses of substances. In this case, the result of the efforts expended directly depends on whether you are able to correctly translate one value into another: whether it will be possible to treat guests with delicious pastries, correctly calculate the dosage of medicine for a child, surprise friends with home-made cosmetics. Therefore, knowledge of how many milligrams in a gram in everyday life is necessary.

Gram as a unit of mass

Let's start with what a gram is as a unit of mass. For the first time, the idea that the system of measures needed to be somehow unified was thought about in France back in the 17th century, but work on the theory of a unified metric system began in earnest only in 1790. The National Assembly instructed the Academy of Sciences of the French capital to prepare a new system of measures. In 1795, an unchanging unit of length was established - the meter, which is one forty-millionth part of the Paris meridian. After that, the scientists Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier and Rene-Just Gayuy presented their own developments for determining the weight of water, which were to form the basis of a gravity measurement system. The very idea of ​​using water to determine the unit of measurement of mass belongs to the British philosopher John Wilkins, who first voiced it back in 1668.

So, the concept of a gram was introduced - the weight of one cubic centimeter of pure water at the temperature of ice melting. The official "date of birth" of the gram is April 7, 1795. The Greek word "γράμμα" (gramma) means "little weight".

Since in those days trade dealt mainly with objects whose weight was many times greater than one gram, it became necessary to determine some more significant standard of mass. As a result, it was decided to introduce the concept of a kilogram - the equivalent of the mass of one cubic decimeter of water.

In 1889, during the First International Conference of Weights and Measures, the kilogram standard was introduced - you must admit that it is not very convenient to use water to determine the mass. As a result, a cylinder was made from an alloy of platinum and iridium, which is still stored in the Chamber of Weights and Measures to this day. Copies of it are also available in other countries.

So how many milligrams in a gram?

If everything is more or less clear with grams and kilograms, then the question of how many milligrams are in one gram can confuse some people. Moreover, there are people who are absolutely convinced that a milligram is a hundredth of a gram. However, this opinion is erroneous.

The prefix "milli-" means a thousandth. In other words, there are a thousand milligrams in one gram. Thus, a milligram is one thousandth (0.001) of a gram.

Sometimes it may be necessary to convert milligrams not only to grams, but also to kilograms.

100 mg how many grams the table is complete. How many milligrams in a gram and why you need to know.

To do this, remember that there are a thousand grams in one kilogram. Taking into account the fact that there are 1000 mg in 1 gram, it can be calculated that there are 1,000,000 milligrams in one kilogram: (1000 mg * 1000 g).

Now let's try to use the acquired knowledge in practice. Sometimes young mothers publish panic messages on thematic forums: the drug is recommended for a child in a dose of 0.25 g, and the tablet weight is 500 mg. Does this mean that you should immediately run to the pharmacy and look for a medicine in a different dosage - or can you use a simple formula and convert one unit to another?

500 mg is 0.5 g (0.001 * 500).

Therefore, a dose of 0.25 g can be obtained by dividing the tablet in half.

Here are a few more multiple units of measurement:

  • 1 mg = 0.001 g;
  • 1 mg = 1000 mcg;
  • 1 mg \u003d 1 * 10-8 centners;
  • 1 mg = 1 * 10-9 tons.

More about kilogram

Kilogram(in Russian designation: kg; in international: kg) is a unit of mass.

How many milligrams in a gram and why you need to know

It is one of several (seven) main units of measurement included in the international system of measures.

In 1901, the real concept of the kilogram was stated by the 3rd General Conference on Weights and Measures as follows: the kilogram is a unit of mass, which is equal to the mass of the international sample of the kilogram. The most important sample (standard) of a kilogram is located in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, located in the city of Sevres near Paris. This is a cylinder with a height and diameter of about 39.17 millimeters made of a platinum-iridium alloy. It is 10% iridium and 90% platinum.

At first, the kilogram was defined as the mass of one liter (cubic decimeter) of absolutely pure water at atmospheric pressure at sea level and at its temperature of 4 ° C. By coincidence of historical circumstances, the term "kilogram" already includes the decimal prefix "kilo", because of this, multiple and submultiple units are created by combining the designations of the unit of measurement "gram" or standard SI prepositions to the name. It is in the international system of measures is fractional: 1 gram = 10-3 kg.

Duplicate sample 1 kg, located in the United States of America (USA).

At the current time, the kilogram is a unique unit of the international system of measures, defined with the help of an object made by mankind - a platinum-iridium sample. With the help of the basic (fundamental) physical laws and properties, all other units of measurement are now determined. The measure "kilogram" was established as the mass of 1 cubic decimeter of water at 4°C when the metric system was introduced in the 18th century. At this temperature, water has the highest density. In 1799, a platinum weight was made, which was used as a sample of a kilogram, but its mass was 0.028 grams more than the mass of 1 cubic decimeter of water. - iridium alloy.

After those times, he is under three sealed caps in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. As national samples of the kilogram, specially made exact official copies of the international sample are used. In total, over 80 duplicates were created. Two duplicates of the international standard were transferred to Russia, they are stored in the All-Russian Research Institute of Metrology named after Mendeleev. About once every ten years, all national duplicates are compared with international ones.

Comparisons indicate that the accuracy of national samples is approximately 2 micrograms. There is no reason to believe that the international standard is more accurate, since they are in the same conditions. For various reasons, the international sample loses 3 10-8 of its mass in 100 years. At the same time, based on the concept, the mass of the international standard is exactly equal to one kilogram. That is why all changes in the real mass of the sample change the unit of measurement "kilogram". In its Resolution in 1999, the Twenty-First General Conference on Weights and Measures, precisely because of the effort to correct the inaccuracies previously indicated, invited national laboratories to continue their efforts to improve the clarification of the relationship of basic or atomic constants with units of mass, assuming a future definition of the kilogram. In the next decade, a number of international organizations worked to create conjectural options for redefining the kilogram.

When we graduate, we often forget a lot of what we have been through in the program. For example, not everyone remembers how many milligrams are in a gram. However, this knowledge is sometimes simply necessary in everyday life. For example, the correct dosage of various components in cooking, medicine, and cosmetology often depends precisely on how well we have mastered the system for transferring mass from kilograms to grams, from grams to milligrams. Treating this lightly, you can easily spoil the result. After all, it is much easier to figure out how much and where to add, knowing how many milligrams are in a gram. Small values ​​are often used when working with small volumes of substances, and it is very important not to confuse the ratio. Even on the Internet, you can sometimes find statements that confidently say that a gram contains 100 milligrams. But it is quite possible that, after reading such a post, the other person will simply make a mistake with the calculations. So, how many milligrams are there in a gram? And how to do the calculations right?

A milligram is a thousandth of a gram. The meaning of the prefix "milli" means 10 to the -3 power, respectively, indicating one thousandth. That is, one gram consists of one thousand milligrams. In fact, it is not difficult to translate these quantities even without a calculator. To do this, it is quite enough to use the most elementary knowledge of arithmetic.

In order to make it easier to understand how many milligrams are in 1 gram, I will present an illustrative example:

1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams

And vice versa:

1 milligram is equal to 0.001 grams

It follows that:

1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams, which is equal to 1,000,000 milligrams

With the help of such a simple table, you can correctly calculate the amount of substances.

Knowing how many milligrams are in one gram is necessary if you want to follow the recipes of various cosmetics and medicines correctly. After all, situations often arise when we can quite understand all the subtleties and nuances on our own, however, ignorance of how many milligrams are in a gram and well-founded uncertainty about the correctness of the calculations makes it difficult to find a rational solution.

Suppose you need to give medicine to a small child. But it is known that the dosage of some drugs is quite strictly different in adults and babies. In this case, the most difficult thing is to choose the required dose, which will not cause any side effects and negative effects on health, for very young children, up to three years old. Having a whole tablet and knowing its standard weight, as well as the amount of active substance, you can easily do this. In an example, it looks like this.

The weight of the tablet is 500 milligrams. The pediatric dose of this drug is 0.25 grams. Difficult? Not at all. One has only to use the elementary school formula, as everything will fall into place. You can use two different ways to convert values ​​- from grams to milligrams or vice versa. Here is the result:

500 milligrams = 0.5 grams. And you only need 0.25. We divide the tablet into two parts and get the right dose of the necessary medicine.

You can also do the opposite:

0.25 grams = 250 milligrams

The result is two numbers - 500 milligrams and 250 milligrams. And now it is much easier to understand how to properly divide the pill.

I will give a few more examples of converting grams to milligrams and vice versa.

0.12 grams = 120 milligrams.

540 milligrams = 0.54 grams

0.03 grams = 30 milligrams

36 milligrams = 0.036 grams

Here's how you can easily deal with such obscure quantities. There is no need to divide or multiply if you understand the number of zeros correctly. In the version with 540 milligrams, 0.54 grams can be obtained by simply moving the separating comma forward three digits, which means three zeros in 1000. Did you forget that there are 1000 milligrams in one gram? And in the case of converting 0.03 grams to milligrams, the comma moves back three digits and the missing zero is added. 0.030 = 30.


We often forget that we studied at school and took a course in physical quantities and units of their measurement. Many do not even know how many milligrams are in a gram, and vice versa.

Why is it so important?

Let's, for starters, figure it out: where it is necessary to know (mandatory), and how knowledge about grams and milligrams can someday come in handy in the life of each of us.

Medicine and industry

Without this knowledge, it is simply impossible to do when it comes to medical dosages, industrial and cosmetic proportions. Moreover, if we talk about medicine, then there is no way to treat values ​​lightly. After all, the lives of millions of people depend on it! The same is true in industry where accuracy is important. Imagine if a worker at an arms factory did not know: how many milligrams are in one gram of gunpowder. It is scary even to speculate about what can happen due to lack of knowledge about grams and milligrams.


In medicine, due to an error in the proportions of active substances, a drug can become a deadly poison, even if half a milligram is too much or not enough!

Unfortunately, there are more and more modern people who even have no idea about the conversion (translation) of physical quantities. Probably, it is no longer a secret that such people can get and have already got into the medical or industrial sphere, where this is indispensable. There are also those who confidently say: "There are one hundred milligrams in one gram." This applies not only to mass, but also to knowledge about other quantities. And who knows where they work? Such mistakes are fraught with accidents and disasters.

In the SI system, only kilograms are used for calculations. Even a small amount of mass is translated into kg. For example, 123 grams should be written as 0.123 kg.

Thanks to those people who are fluent in translating units of measurement of physical quantities, we are alive and have the opportunity to treat diseases, use other substances to make our own lives easier. Pharmacists, for example, know how to properly dose medicines. Chemists who develop pesticides and fertilizers receive effective drugs so that the harvest is good and pests do not destroy crops. They, like no one else, know: how many mg are in 1 gram.

life situations

Probably, you often heard from children who study at school, for example, such words: “Yes, why do you need to know this? I will be a policeman, and this will not be useful to me in life! In fact, how useful.

Let's say you have to give medicine to an old grandmother. The instructions say that you need to take 250 mg twice a day. 250, no more and no less! Otherwise, the drug will start to work incorrectly, cause side effects, or, at all, an overdose. On the box with tablets there is an inscription: "In a package of 50 tablets of 1 g of the active substance." The instructions do not say that you need to break the pill into exactly four parts, but they write that you should take 250 milligrams. As you can see, you need to know how many milligrams are in one gram.

Or, cases with fertilizers, which are sometimes packaged in several grams. For example, a sachet contains one gram of powder. To fertilize, say, an indoor flower, you need to dilute 500 milligrams in 200 milliliters of water. Again, they did not write that the floor of the bag should be diluted, namely 500 mg.


Hunting, the same case with gunpowder. Let's imagine a situation. A person does not buy ready-made cartridges, but charges them on his own. Takes a kilo of gunpowder. For example, 2.25 g must be poured into the cartridge. It has accurate scales that show only in milligrams. He sits and thinks: “What should the milligram scales show me so that I can put 2.25 grams into the cartridge?”. It would be appropriate to know that the required mass of gunpowder should be 2250 milligrams on his scales. Of course, you can use special programs.

Such cases can be cited as examples endlessly. There is only one conclusion from this: whether you work in the field of the precision industry or not, you should have knowledge of the units of measurements of quantities in your head. It'll still come in handy.

How to calculate

Now let's figure it out: how many mg are in 1 gram and vice versa. First of all, it is worth remembering that there are 1000 milligrams in one gram. And 1 milligram is one thousandth of a gram. That is, 1 mg is 0.001 g and 1 g is 1000 mg.

The main thing is not to make a mistake with zeros and correctly transfer the comma of decimal fractions:

  • 1 gram = 1000 milligrams;
  • 10 grams = 10,000 milligrams;
  • 5 milligrams = 0.005 grams;
  • 50 milligrams = 0.05 grams;
  • 500 milligrams = 0.5 (half) grams.

Now we know how many milligrams make up 1 gram. And if on the contrary, then you need to deal with decimal fractions. One zero is the transfer of a comma by one sign. If we want to write 1 milligram as grams, we get 0.001.

1 milligram is one thousandth of a gram. We divide 1 by a thousand, that is, we move the comma to the left by three digits, since there are three zeros in a thousand. 10 milligrams - one hundredth of a gram (two characters). 100 milligrams is one tenth (one sign).

For example, you have 24 milligrams. In grams, it looks like this: 0.024 g. 24 is divided by a thousand. If from grams to milligrams, then zeros are added accordingly. 356 grams is 356,000 mg.

It is easier to work with comma wrapping. It's faster, and you'll never go wrong.
