For calculating drug dosage:
>>Formula:<<
Stock desired/stock available X quantity
>>Given:<<
Stock desired: 1.5 g (equivalent to 1500 mg)
Stock available: 250 mg
Quantity: 1 tablet (based on the stock being 250 mg/tablet)
>>So:<<
1500 / 250 X 1 tablet = the number of tablets
>>6 X 1 tablet = 6 tablets.
**You will give 6 tablets.**☺

6 mg tablets. 1000mg=1g so 250 mg X 4 =1000. Then you add 2 more 250 mg tablets to make .5= 1.5 gram

6, but if the prescribed dose is 1.5 it's unlikely that you'd be asked to take 6 tabs so you should check the prescription is correct... you're not a nurse are you!

Well, usually it will say on the bottle--unless you weren't really prescribed them.
I suggest taking them in batches of four every fifteen minutes until you start feeling the effects.
If not feeling any effects within an hour, try snorting them or perhaps inserting them in your rectum...90% more efficient.

mg is mili grams, 1000th of a gram. So 250 x 10-3 = 0.25
1.5 / 0.25 = 6
Happy pill taking

1000 mg = 1g
250 mg = 0.25g
So 1.5/0.25 = 6 tablets.

It is simple math---6 tablets.

1500mg/250mg = 6.
