| Measures of Weight Gram: g Milligram: mg Microgram: mcg or μg (Do not use μg–easy to read mg) | |
| g > mg 1 g = 1000 mg To multiply by | |
| mg < g 1000 mg = 1 g To divide by 1000, move the decimal point three places to the LEFT | |
| mg > mcg 1 mg = 1000 mcg To multiply by 1000, move the decimal points three points to the RIGHT | |
| 1 g = 1000 mg 1 mg = 1000 mcg gr 1 = 60 mg 1 kg = 2.2 lbs 1 tbs = 15 mL 1 tsp = 5 mL 1 oz = 30 mL | |
| Liter = L Milliliter = mL 1000ml = 1 L 1 teaspoon = 5 mL 1 tablespoon = 15 mL 1 ounce = 30 mL 1 pint = 480 ml (500ml is 0.5 L) 1 quart = 960 mL | |
| 60 mg = gr 160 min = 1 hr15 mg = gr ¼15 min = ¼ hr30 mg = gr ½30 min = ½ hr45 mg = ¾ gr45 min = ¾ hr | |
| Example Order: 0.25 g Supply: 0.5 g per tablet (D) 0.25 gx (V)1 tablet = ½ tab (H) 0.5 g | |
