Calculation basis & example

Units example only: if the required total active ingredient is 1,000 mg and the product contains 100 mg/mL, the required product quantity is 10 mL. A powder at 20% w/w contains 200 mg/g; a liquid at 20% w/v contains 200 mg/mL. % v/v and products labeled in activity units are not supported. This is not a recommended treatment.
