How do I convert MEQ to MG?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how many mg of Potassium I'm taking to enter into a software program that I use. The bottle says that it's 20 MEQ. What would the mg be? Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is a solution to your question , you will understand it better if you understand this:

milliEquivalent. mEq measures a substance's ability to combine with another substance. One mEq = 39 mg of potassium or 23 mg of sodium or 20 mg of calcium or 35 mg of chlorine. One mEq equals about 75 mg of potassium chloride - what we often get as a supplement. One mEq is roughly equivalent to one milliosmole (mOsm)

Answer 2

Mg To Meq

Answer 3

Meq To Mg

Answer 4

The question was focused on a mEq to mg on a medication. If the dosage is 20mEq, the mg amount is 1500. At least Dr. Qutub broke it down even further into what 1mEq equals in mg's for a few of the more common meds or supplements people get that are measured in mEq, which just confuses people instead of just labeling the dosage in what people are used to and understand a bit more..in mg's. You can always contact your pharmacist if you need more assistance, clarification, and in more laymans terms...regular people language instead of pharma and Dr. speak. My pharmacists are MUCH more helpful than my Dr's are 99% of the time when it comes to medications or supplements, so take advantage of their knowledge. Most are more than glad to explain, again, in regular people speak, not more confusing language and terminology.

Answer 5

10 meq equal how many MG

Answer 6

Thank so much, Dr. Qutub! My veterinarian recommended 2 mEq of Potassium Citrate for my cat, and this confirms what I came up with to provide him in his food.

Answer 7

Can I take natural potassium in stead of a chemical one? How much of Natural Potassium should I take if the drug says 10 MEQ

Answer 8

1 mEq. equals about 64 mg, so 20 mEq. is about 1280 mg.

mmol/L stands for millimoles per litre mg/dL stands for milligrams per decilitre So basically they are finding the weight of the glucose present in each decilitre of blood. mg/dL is normally expressed to the nearest whole number eg 120. This is the traditional way of measuring blood glucose in the US and in a number of other countries. It is becoming less common in it's usage in scientific circle but will undoubtedly be with us for a long time as so many people are accustomed to it. The way to convert from one to another is really easy. You just multiply the mmol/L by 18 to get mg/dL. You just divide the mg/dL by 18 to get mmol/L. (Remember, this conversion figure is for blood glucose only) To convert blood glucose readings between the two units: * Divide a mg/dL figure by 18 (or multiply by 0.055) to get mmol/L. * Multiply a mmol/L figure by 18 (or divide by 0.055) to get mg/dL.
