The concentration of morphine can vary, so it's important to know the specific concentration of the morphine solution. However, for a standard concentration of 1 mg/mL, 2 mg of morphine would be equal to 2 mL.
A millilitre (mL) is a unit of volume. A milligram (mg) is a unit of mass."20 mL" of morphine would imply that the morphine is suspended in a liquid, and depending on morphine's solubility in this liquid and so forth, there can be a different amount of morphine per mL. Usually a liquid suspension like this will be "X mg per mL" or "X mg/mL" as labelled on an ampoule or something similar.For example, you one may find an ampoule that contains 4 mg/mL of morphine (in which case the answer would be 80 mg) or one that contains 20 mg/mL (in which case the answer would be 400 mg), etc.There is no fixed answer, *but* you should know that a morphine dose is measured in mg and not mL, so if all you know is the amount of mL, it's not safe to measure out a dose.
The strength of Morphine depends on the concentration of the drug. If 6 mg Morphine is the prescribed strength, a little over 1/2 a cc of Morphine 10 mg needs to be administered. Morphine is supplied in 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml ampules. CW: For water, a cc is (just about) a mg. For stuff dissolved in water, a cc is about a mg. For Hg, doesn't hold.
The nurse should administer 0.6 mL of morphine sulfate to deliver 6 mg of the medication to the patient (6 mg divided by 10 mg/mL).
Their are two sizes 10 mg of moriphine in .7 ml of water and 20 mg in 1ml of water.
mg is smaller than mL
if this is a serious question then this is a possible answer ml is millilitre (volume) mg is milligram ( weight ) so a ml of something might be more than a mg less than a mg or equal to a mg you can only compare them if you use a specific substance
Oxy what? Oxycodone? Oxycontin? Oxytocin? Oxybutynin? Oxymorphone? Be specific dear.
Extended release oral tablets come in 15, 20, 30, 60, 100, 120 and 200 mg strengths, depending on the manufacturer. There are also immediate release tablets in 15 & 30 mg strengths, and oral liquid solutions in 10mg/ml and 20 mg/ml.
0.4 mg to ml
yes, a milileter is more than a miligram
262 mg to ml
