| conversion of milliliters to milligrams ? Here is an interesting question for all of you readers. For all of us that have ever wondered.. I am trying to see what a liquid conversion in millileters (ML)would be to a pill dosage in milligrams (MG). Ralphie has been on .02ML of metrontidizole off and on..and I always end up throwing away the RX, because it only lasts for 2 months. So use it or not, out it goes. If I could get a conversion of his .02ML dose to a MG dose, then I could have a much longer shelf life of the medicine, since it would be in pill form. Since I only have it on hand for emergency , this would make allot more sense. the pills come in 250 mg size. Ralphie weighs 4 pounds 12 ounces. I have read that 5 to 10 mg's per poind is about right.. but since I have a specific doseage of .02ML.. I wanted to get it more exact as per his RX. Any experts out there??

| Hello. You cannot convert milliliters to milligrams. Milliliters is a volume measure and milligrams is a mass equivalent. You can only convert volume equivalents with volume and mass equilavents with mass. You would have to figure it out using the dosage in milligrams.

| I agree it would be difficult.. how about.. has anyone been given a pill form of metronitizole? And if so..what did they get? Or is it always the liquid form?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Gosh...trying to remember...I don't think I've had it in pill form. Is the "emergency" for which you need it for digestive stress (sudden)? If so, I wonder if Tylan powder would work for you - bc that would last a long time and you could keep it on hand easily.
