There can be no equivalence.
A milligram is a measure of mass. A millilitre 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 millilitre of air. How many milligrams? Next consider a millilitre of water. How many milligrams?
The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.
Many people believe that there is an exact conversion for pure water: that is not true. It is only an approximation and that has been the case since 1964 when the definition of the litre was changed.

Some people still believe that there is a conversion in relation to pure water but that is only approximately true. Until 1964 (more than 50 year ago!) a litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 760 millimetres of Mercury. With that definition a conversion would have been possible - but only for pure water and only under those conditions. That definition of a litre was abandoned in favour of 1 litre =1000 cubic centimetres. So now, even for water, there is no simple conversion. In fact the density of pure water at a pressure of 1 bar, reaches its maximum value at 4 deg C and that value is 999.972 0 g/ml. At room temperature (20 deg C) it is 998.2071 mg/ml.

How many mL are in 60 mg Demerol?
This is not a valid conversion. Milliliters (mL or ml) and liters (L) are measures of volume. Grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.
How many ml are equal to 190 mg?
This cannot be sensibly answered. A milliliter (mL or ml) is a measure of volume, grams (g), kilograms (kg) and milligrams (mg) are measures of weight or mass.
How many mg does 80 ml equal?
Does not convert; milligrams (mg) and grams (g) are measures of weight or mass and mL (milliliters) is a measure of volume.
How do you convert 60 mg into 10 ml?
This is not a valid conversion; milligrams (mg) and grams (g) are measures of weight or mass and mL (milliliters) is a measure of volume.
1000 grams is equal to how many mL?
This is not a valid conversion; milligrams (mg) and grams (g) are measures of weight or mass while milliliters (mL or ml) measure volume.
7.5 ml is equal to 1 mg hence 1 ml is equal to how many mg?
Accordingly, 1 ml = 1/7.5 mg = 0.133 mg
50 mg is equal to how many ml?
2.5 ml
How many ml in 60 mg of toradol?
1 ml or 1cc
How many mg are in 60 ml of methadone?
60 mg when they mix it in the clinic, powder in to juice 1mil= 1mg,5 mil juice =5mg,and so on.
How many tablespoons equal 60 ml?
4 tablespoons are equal to 60 ml.
What is 75mg of testosterone equal to in ml?
How many ml of testosterone would equal 75 mg
How many ml of liquid Motrin is equal to 800 mg?
800mg is how many ml?
How many tablespoons does 60 ml equal?
60 ml of water is 4 tablespoons.
How many ml equal 45 Mg?
4.5
How many mg is equal to 15 ml?

Does 300 mg per cc equal 25 mg per kg If not how many mg per kg equal 300 mg per cc?
cc = ml if you assume that density is 1 g / ml, you assume a gram is a millilitre then 300 mg / ml = 300,000 mg per kilogram
How many cc equals 200 mg mL?
is equal to 1cc
