Mg Converted To Teaspoons.

[Spicerack]

I looked it up myself but it hardly seems credible.
Just double checked how many mg of medicine I should take. It's 50ml not mg.
I thought I'd have to take more, maybe a tablespoon or a desert spoon, eh?
Anyone know roughly off the top of their head? I'm trying to avoid conversion tables. ;-)

[Patsy33]

About 2 table spoons..

[Spicerack]

So that's 4 desert spoons, Patsy.

Something wrong here........what is the medicine that you are taking?

[Spicerack]

First time I worked it out, it was a fifth of a teaspoon, lol.
I thought something was wrong.

Spice; don't take anything until you know. What sort of medicine? Is it the old-fashioned sort - pink stuff in a bottle? What concentration is it? What medicine is it? I can hardly belive that modern medicine comes with such vague instructions.
100ml is a tenth of a litre, and 50 ml is half of that. That's quite a hefty dose - half a glass of wine in a civilised country like France (not Aus or UK where pubs sell wine in half-litre glasses!)

[Barsel]

5ml = 1 teaspoon so 50ml would be 10 teaspoons!
I think you should check it again.

[Maydup]

50ml is just under 3 tablespoonfuls. 2.8 to be exact.

[Spicerack]

Can't say, sqad. But the bottle does say 45ml for adults. Why would that be wrong?

[Buenchico]

A double scotch in a pub that uses the older 25ml optics is 50ml. (Some pubs now use 35ml optics though, so a 'double is then 70ml).

In a pub that offers small, medium and large glasses of wine, a small glass usually contains 150ml of plonk. So 50ml is about of a third of a small wine glass.

If the dose is in mls You need a proper measure as regular spoons vary in size. Liquid paracetamol comes with a measuring cup or spoon. The spoon has lines on it. Do you have a cooks set of measuring spoons. They are reasonably accurate

and adolescents over 14.

[Maydup]

45ml is 9 teaspoons or 2.5 tablespoons.

[Barsel]

45mls is 9 teaspoons!
I've never heard of that amount to be taken, ever.

[Maydup]

Obviously use a measure if you have one, if not make sure the tablespoon is a tablespoon and not just a serving spoon. Usually the cap of the medicine can be used as a measure.

[Spicerack]

Alright, I'll take half. 2 desert spoons. A fifth of a teaspoon, lol, and me practically a giant.

[THECORBYLOON]

What is the actual dose you are wanting to measure?

[Sqad]

So, you are taking more than two tablespoonful of "stuff" that you don't know what it is.?

Good luck.

[Maydup]

Come again Spicerack????

[Spicerack]

I'll see if I can buy a proper measure tomorrow and I won't take any medicine until then. Thank you ,all.
