Well, think about it.\n1 mg (milligram) is one thousandth (1/1,000) gram.\n1 mcg (microgram) is one millionth (1/1,000,000) gram.

i´m a general surgeon.\n2400mg of amoxicillin is a lot. a 84 pound kid is considered an adult for that kind of drug. in my opinion 500mg three times a day would be enough.

I'm sure not a Dr. but it looks like 50 mg / minute of Drug E are needed which (I think) translates to 1/5 of of a ml / min. (.2 ml / min) of what is on hand.

Zinc 50 mgs. However if it is due to sinus problems this probably won't work

1000 to 1500 milligrams is a common dosage - taken in divided doses (500 milligrams 2 or 3 times per day).

This is using VP=VP, Boyle's Law of Gases.  By the way, mm Hg is the same thing as torr.  \n400 mL * 500 mm Hg = V * 760 torr\nV=263.2 mL, so your answer checks.  You may want to check your significant figures, though.

Well, 1GM ( 1 gram) is the same as 1000MG (1000 milligrams)  Two 500mg tabs would be the same as 1 1gm tab.  Every medication has multiple strengths.  Just because your friends is stronger does NOT mean that you need the same strength.  Take your medication the way your doctor prescribed it.

First, you need to know that the Nutritional Supplement Industry is regulated based on the Food Standard which is far less stringent that the prescription drugs. Most follows the GMP Food standard. \n\nHow to select fish-oil supplement then?\nRecently popular cod liver oil supplement maker Seven Seas took two of its products off the shelves in Singapore.\n\nThis prompted The Straits Times (Mind Your Body) to publish a front page article "Fish Oil: A user's guide" on 26 April 2006.\n\nIt stated "when choosing fish oil, it is important to note the levels of fatty acids, which offer the healthy benefits.\nSo 1000mg of fish oil with 180mg og EPA and 120mg of DHA provide 300mg - not 1000mg - of omega-3 fats."\n\nBase on "Environment Defence" a leading US non-profits organisation, has been studying fish and fish oil supplements since 1967. It has compiled a report on 75 brands of fish oil supplements and rated them according to purity. Only 3 brands available in Singapore are listed as "Best Choice" - ceritfy to be free from heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs. These brands are Nordic Naturals, Shaklee and Usana. \n\nWhich offers the best value?\nI have done a price comparsion on EPA/DHA level and found that USANA to be 50% cheaper than the other 2 products.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nfrom: Victor Phua (phuact@gmail.com)

Garlic lowers blood pressure a little. \nGarlic lowers LDL Cholesterol a little. \nGarlic helps reduce atherosclerotic buildup (plaque) within the arterial system. One recent study shows this effect to be greater in women than men. \nGarlic lowers or helps to regulate blood sugar. \nGarlic helps to prevent blood clots from forming, thus reducing the possibility of strokes and thromboses (It may not be good for hemophiliacs). \nGarlic helps to prevent cancer, especially of the digestive system, prevents certain tumors from growing larger and reduces the size of certain tumors. \nGarlic helps to remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body. \nRaw Garlic is a potent natural antibiotic and, while far less strong than modern antibiotics, can still kill some strains of bacteria that have become immune or resistant to modern antibiotics. \nGarlic has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. \nGarlic dramatically reduces yeast infections due to Candida species. \nGarlic has anti-oxidant properties and is a source of selenium. \nGarlic probably has other benefits as well.

Garlic is very good for you, so yeah, it's more than okay. \n\nWhen I cook with it, I saute in a bit of olive oil making it soft, not for a long time either, if we overcook it, it loses it's health properties, so just slightly is best.  \n\nIt's super good with lots of recipes. Years ago, I would eat the bulbs raw, but it's much better cooked with pasta or food. Just tastes better.\n\nI use Kyolic odorless capsules on a daily basis.\n\nGarlic protects our tissues, has antioxidant properties which protect us from free radicals, lowers total serum cholesterol along with lowering our LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases our good cholesterol (HDL). \n\nIt increases our circulation, is good for our heart, the list goes on and on. As you can see, yes, Garlic is very good for a person, so nothing bad can come from eating it.\n\nI would have your friend ease up a bit, it will start to eventually come out of her pores and she will smell. Capsules are much better over all.

Hi Brad.  This is not a simple question because there are many issues involved.\n\n1) Many studies have shown that the amount of vitamin/mineral listed on the label of a supplement is NOT what is actually in the bottle.  At the present time, you have no way of knowing the 'actual' content of a purchased supplement.  You can only 'hope' the label reflects the actual level of ingredients.\n\n2) Storage, processing, age, etc. of supplements can affect their potency.  Again you have no way of knowing about these issues for a given brand.  For example, is the cheap brand of vitamin C cheap because the company purchases a huge lot of it from the manufacturer (to get a 'good price') and has been storing it in a hot warehouse in Texas for the last two years?  Age and heat damage many vitamins.\n\n3)  Many cheaper supplements contain sugars, preservatives, colorings, etc. that just are not 'appropriate' chemicals in a quality supplement.\n\n4) Medical studies have shown that the cheaper forms of minerals found in most supplements (such as: zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, etc.) may not even be absorbed.  The more expensive, quality supplements will contain amino acid 'chelates' of minerals that have been proven to be better absorbed (such as: magnesium citrate, or glycinate, or gluconate or malate, etc.)\n\n5) You can purchase a new car for less than $10K or you can purchase a new car for $30k or more.  Quality always costs more, and it is often worth paying for it, especially where your health is concerned.\n\n6) Vitamin E in most cheap supplements is the synthetic form called dl-alpha-tocopherol (also called all-racemic alpha-tocopherol).  Real vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopherol - plus 7 additional forms (called vitamers).  The real stuff has benefits the synthetic form lacks and some studies even suggest the synthetic form interferes with the body's processing of the other, good forms, of vitamin E.  Any supplement with the 'dl' form of vitamin E is 'the cheap stuff', should be avoided and is a sign that the manufacturer doesn't care about the true quality of their product.\n\n7)  Avoid any product that does not list the exact form of each vitamin or mineral.  Products that just say "Vitamin E" or "Calcium" are hiding the fact that they are using the cheapest ingredients, which again may not be the best.  It makes me wonder 'what else are they hiding?'.\n\nHope this was helpful.  Talk to the people at your health food store.  They are there to help you.  Expect to pay about $1 per day for a quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement ($30 for a one month supply).  In April 2002 the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended the use of vitamin supplements for all adults because it may help reduce the risks for many common diseases (heart disease, cancer, brain degeneration, cataracts, etc.).  Invest in your health by purchasing a supplement that works!\n\nHope this wasn't too long, and therefore was helpful for you.  Best wishes.
