Hey!

Was wondering if someone could help me to convert mcg's to cc's.

I have a dosage outline but it is in mcg's, and i have liquid not pill form.. so i need to figure out how much i need to take.

i have an insulin syringe to measure with that is 1cc/100units. How many units equals one mcg? or if easier how many mcg's equal one unit?

thnx for the help. if you need more info let me know.

:)

cc = cubic centimeter = milliliter (a unit of volume)
mcg = microgram = (a unit of mass/weight)

You can't do a direct conversion. You have to know the specific gravity of the substance you want to convert. Once you know that, then you can do a conversion.
