    cc=ml=iu=mg=mcg ?????

    Just a brief conversion I know this came up a lot on the old board.

    1 cc (cubic centimetre) = 1 ml (milliliter ) these are volume measurements.

    A mg measures the dosage of the drug a mg = 1/1000 of a g (gram)

    1 mcg (microgram) = 1/1000 milligram

    An IU (International Unit) is a measurement of fluid

    So:

    10cc = 10ml

    Take Sust 250mg/ml = 250mg (The strength of the drug or dosage) per ml of fluid.So if you wanted to use 500mg this would require 2ml

    If you are not sure always check prior to injecting/swallowing

    Be Safe
