Best Answer

A millilitre (ml) is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A milligram (mg) is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and so they are not the same. Furthermore, basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a millilitre of air and a millilitre of water. They will have very different masses.

I am a pharmacist. 7.5 mL (1.5 teaspoonfuls) of 50 mg per mL Demerol syrup will contain 75 mg. It is a simply and straightforward calculation, but if it helps, you can think of 50 mg per 5 mL as being 10 mg per mL. Therefore, 7.5 mL of the syrup contains 75 mg.

What does do you recommend of acetaminophen--160mg per 5mL or 80 mg-- and ibuprofen --100mg per 5mL or 100 mg tab--for a 6 year old weighing 54 lbs?

You take the wt and divide by 2.2 to get kilos. Then take kilos and multiply by the ml to get the mg. Take the desired mg divided by volume (160mg) multipy by the ml to get what dosage to give. 54lbs divided by 2.2 = 25 kilos 25 kilos x 5ml = 125mg 125mg over 160mg x 5ml = 600 over 160 divided 160 into 600 = 3.9 ml of medicine (tylenol)
