How do you calculate animal dosages?

Animal weight (kg) x dosage (mg/kg) / concentration of drug (mg/ml) = drug volume in ml or cc. The manner in which a drug may effect an animal and the level of immobilization produced are subject to a number of factors.

How do you calculate mg per ml?

To find the number of milligrams in a millilitre you need to divide 500mg by 100; 1ml of 0.5% lidocaine contains 5mg per ml.

How is PCU mg calculated?

1 PCU = 1 kg. For example a 50 mg/PCU figure for food producing animals would mean that on average, and over the course of a year, 50 mg of antibiotic active ingredient was used for every kg of bodyweight at time of treatment.

How many mg are in penicillin?

Penicillin -VK (Penicillin V Potassium Tablets USP), for oral administration, contain 250 mg (400,000 units) or 500 mg (800,000 units) penicillin V.

What does mg per kg mean?

Milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) means the milligrams of substance per kilogram of weight.

How is mg number calculated?

1 milligram (mg) = 1000 micrograms (mcg) or 0.001 grams (g) 1 g = 1000 mg 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 g 1 kg = 2.2 pound (lb) 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) To convert larger to smaller, multiply by 1000, or move the decimal point three places to the right.

What does 20 mg/ml mean?

Milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) is a measurement of a solution's concentration. In other words, it's the amount of one substance dissolved in a specific volume of a liquid. For example, a salt water solution of 7.5 mg/mL has 7.5 milligrams of salt in each milliliter of water.

Is 5mg the same as 5ml?

The relation between mass and volume of a substance basically depends upon the density of that particular substance. If you have the value of density, you can easily convert mg to mL. Hence 5mg of water will be equal to 5ml only.

What is population correction unit?

PCU refers to the 'Population Correction Unit' and takes into account the animal population as well as the estimated weight of each particular animal at the time of treatment with antibiotics.

How much penicillin can you give a dog?

The daily dose of penicillin is 3,000 units per pound of body weight (1 mL per 100 lbs body weight). Continue daily treatment until recovery is apparent and for at least one day after symptoms disappear, usually in two to three days.

What is the difference between penicillin and penicillin G?

Natural Penicillins

Penicillin G is a natural penicillin that is produced directly from fermentation of Penicillium crysogenum. Penicillin V is a derivative of penicillin G and because of similarities in spectrum of activity, is considered a natural penicillin.

How do you take penicillin V 125 mg?

The usual adult dose of penicillin V is 125 to 500 mg every 6-8 hours.

How do you convert mg/kg to mg m2?

To convert dose in mg/kg to mg/m2 of humans or animals is carried out using the Km factor in table1 as: mg/m2 = Km × (mg/kg) (Eq.
