5 Best Anabolic Stacks And Steroids For Beginners
If you’re aiming for a 20 mg dose from a solution that contains 10 mg per milliliter (10 mg/mL), the calculation is straightforward:
Desired dose | Concentration of solution | Volume needed |
---|---|---|
20 mg | 10 mg/mL | 2 mL |
Explanation
- Determine how many milligrams are in each milliliter:
- Set up a proportion to find the volume that yields 20 mg:
\frac10\text mg1\text mL = \frac20\text mgx\text mL
]
- Solve for \( x \):
So, you need to administer 2 mL of the solution to receive a 20 mg dose.

Quick Reference Table
Desired Dose (mg) | Volume Needed |
---|---|
5 | 1 mL |
10 | 2 mL |
15 | 3 mL |
20 | 4 mL |
(If the solution concentration changes, recalculate using the formula above.)

Safety & Practical Tips
- Double‑check calculations before drawing up medication.
- Label vials clearly with "5 mg/mL" to avoid confusion.
- Use a calibrated syringe; check that the needle tip is clean and free of debris.
- Document dose, time, and patient response in the chart.
Quick Reference Sheet
Concentration | Desired Dose (mg) | Volume Needed (mL) |
---|---|---|
5 mg/mL | 10 mg | 2 mL |
5 mg/mL | 20 mg | 4 mL |
(Adjust volume proportionally for other concentrations.)
---
Takeaway:
- Know the concentration (mg per mL).
- Divide the desired dose by that concentration to find the volume.
- Use the syringe’s markings or a calibrated dropper for accuracy.
