mcg is a disreputable unit of measure. It means microgram - though deciphering the letters may not give you that. ugis a better abbreviation, with less chance of misunderstanding.
But to the question - it all depends upon the concentration of the insulin in the solution. For cc (a.k.a. ml) is a unit of volume.
No. A microgram is a measure of mass. A cubic centimetre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a cubic centimetre of air. How many micrograms? Next consider a cubic centimetre of lead. How many micrograms?
mcg is an abbreviation of microgram, so 1 mg = 1000 microgram = 1000 mcg.
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 5000 mcg = 5000/1000 = 5 mg. Simple!
1000 mcg = 1 mg so 10000 mcg = 10000/1000 = 10 mg. Simple!
1 mg = 1000 mcg so 0.0015 mg = 1.5 mcg
1 cc=100 units of Insulin so, 1 unit=0.01 cc Insulin
There are 100 units in a CC. 1 CC = 1 mL So, 5 units is 5/100 (1/20, .05) of a CC.
It depends on the type of insulin being used: For 100U insulin, 1 unit = 1/100 or 0.01 cc. For 40U insulin, 1 unit = 1/40 or 0.025 cc.
Insulin is typically measured in units rather than milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cc), but 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cc. Most insulin solutions are available in concentrations of 100 units/mL (U100). Therefore, 20 units of insulin would be 0.2 mL, which is equal to 0.2 cc.
To determine how many shots of 70 cc can be obtained from a 100 ml bottle of insulin, first convert 100 ml to cc, which is equivalent (1 ml = 1 cc). Therefore, a 100 ml bottle contains 100 cc. Dividing 100 cc by 70 cc per shot means you can get approximately 1.43 shots, which means you can administer 1 full shot of 70 cc, with some insulin left over.
Insulin is typically measured in units rather than volume. In the context of U-100 insulin, which is the most common concentration, there are 100 units of insulin per 1 mL (or 1 cc). Therefore, 1 cc of U-100 insulin contains 100 units of insulin. Different concentrations of insulin may have different unit-to-volume ratios.
The standard insulin syringe is a total of 1 ml ( 1 cc), but if you are not sure ask someone who can tell you. Too much insulin can be fatal.
No, they're completely different units. 1 cc (cubic centimeter) = 1 cm^3 (cubic centimeter) (these are units of volume) 1 mcg (microgram) = 0.001 mg (milligram) (these are units of mass) Here's a way to compare them: 1 cc of water has a mass of about 1 gram, or 1000000 micrograms.
1000 mcg = 1 mg Thus 1 mcg = 0.001 mg
1 microgram (mcg) is 1/1000mg or 0.001mg
No. A microgram is a measure of mass. A cubic centimetre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a cubic centimetre of air. How many micrograms? Next consider a cubic centimetre of lead. How many micrograms?
2.4 mcg = 0.0024 mg Each 1 mcg = 1/1000 of a mg
