How do I convert meq to mEq?
I'm trying to figure out how much Potassium I need to enter into a program that I use.The bottle says it's 20 MEQ.What would be the name of the drug?Thanks.
There is a correlation of milliEquivalent.A substance's ability to combine with another substance is measured.If you add up all of the ingredients, you get a mEq of 39 or 23 or 20 or 35 or chlorine.The amount of potassium chloride that one mEq equates to is often a supplement.It is roughly equivalent to one milliosmole.
The question was about a medication.The amount is 1500 if the dosage is 20mEq.For a few of the more common meds or supplements people get that are measured in mEq, Dr. Qutub broke it down further into what 1mEq equals in mg's, which confuses people instead of just labeling the dosage in what they are used to.If you need more assistance or clarification, you can always contact your pharmacist.My pharmacy is more helpful than my doctor's office when it comes to prescriptions, so take advantage of their knowledge.In regular people speak, not more confusing language and terminology, most are more than happy to explain.
Thank you so much, Dr. Qutub!I found out that my pet's doctor recommended 2 mEq of K2 for him, which confirms what I came up with to provide him with his food.
Is it possible to take natural potassium instead of a chemical one?If the drug says 10 MEQ, how much of Natural Potassium should I take?
