24 is larger than 4 so 24mcg is larger than 4mcg (micrograms).
75 is 3 times larger than 25
The abbreviation "mcg" is micrograms.
Patches come in 5 dosages: 12.5 mcg (micrograms) 25 mcg 50 mcg 75 mcg 100 mcg Patient dosages are prescribed as a single patch dose, or if needed, a combination of doses to get the desired result. For example, my primary dose is 100mcg, but I've had to increase to 150 and 200mcg as necessary over the years. I once met a lady who had a brother that was a former cancer patient (he's since passed away) that was using 6 100mcg patches.
.25 is larger than .24
1 mcg = 0.001 mg250 mcg = 0.25 mg25000 mcg = 25 mgNo, it is not the same.
25mcg equals 0.025mg
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 25 mcg = 25/1000 = 0.025 mg. Simple!
25mg (Milligrams) is the equivalent of .025g (Grams).
25 milligrams is 5 times larger than 5 milligrams. This is because there are more figures in the number.
Twenty-five micrograms can be written as either '25 μg' or '25 mcg'. 'μg' is the symbol I learned in chemistry class, but - absent the ability to type that on a standard keyboard - 'mcg' has become acceptable.
The patches come in 12 mcg/h, 25 mcg/h, 50 mcg/h, 75 mcg/h, and 100 mcg/h strengths. The generic of Duragesic is Ratio-Fentanyl and about one-third the cost.
