what is 10 meq refer to on a prescription?

Answer 1

10mEq means 10 milliequivalents. A milliequivalent is one-thousandth of a compound's or an element's equivalent weight. Abbreviated mEq.

For example, 10 mEq of potassium chloride is 750mg. The gram molecular weight of KCl is 75 grams (K = 39, Cl = 35.5 round off to 75). Therefore 1 mEq = 75 mg, 10mEq = 750mg).

The equivalent is formally defined as the mass in grams of a substance which will react with 6.022 x 1023 electrons. (This is Avogadro's Number, which is the number of particles in a mole).

In practice, the amount of a substance in equivalents often has a very small magnitude, so it is frequently described in terms of milliequivalents (mEq or meq) -- the prefix milli denoting that the measure is divided by 1000. Very often, the measure is used in terms of milliequivalents of solute per litre of solvent (mEq/L). This is especially common for measurement of compounds in biological fluids; for instance, the healthy level of potassium in the blood of a human is defined between 3.5 and 5.0 mEq/L.

Equivalents have advantage over other measures of concentration (such as moles) in quantitative analysis of reactions. The best feature of using equivalents is that there is no need to study much about the nature of reaction, i.e. no need to analyse and balancing chemical equations. Equivalents of reactants react in equal numbers to yield the equal equivalents of products.

For monovalent ions, 1 equivalent = 1 mole
For divalent ions, 1 Eq = 0.5 mol
For trivalent ions, 1 Eq = 0.333 mol

See second link for an excellent explanation on the use of mEq.

Answer 2

Meq Medical Abbreviation

Answer 3

Milliequivalents Abbreviation

Answer 4

milliequivalents is the correct answer. Just be sure that it doesn't actually say 10 mcg which would mean "micrograms". Differentiating mcg from meq can be difficult if the MD has horrible handwriting.

I have the JW Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures in front of me, where they render Romans 10:13 as, "For 'everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved'." Their 1 Jan 1988 'Watchtower' mag. p 27 states that "They too need to call on Jehovah's name if they will be saved." The reason is that this verse is a quotation from the Hebrew scriptures (Joel 2:32 where YHWH is the one to be called upon for salvation). Taking the entire 10th chapter of Romans into consideration and combining it with Paul's quote from Joel, it is very clear that he is applying this statement about Jehovah (YHWH) to now calling upon the name of Jesus for salvation. That would be blasphemy if Jesus was not God. As JWs believe it is blasphemy to equate Jesus with God, they will not have their translation infer that Jesus' name is equal to Jehovah's name. Nor will they 'call upon' Jesus' name as that is a reference to worship. They think only Jehovah is to be worshipped without understanding from that passage that to call upon the name of Jesus is to call upon the name of Jehovah. In verse 9 their own KIT says, 'For if you publicly declare that 'word in your own mouth' that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved.'
