Re: Liquid titration (w/response)

[Guest guest]

Thanks:

Got it, I can manage 100 ml better than 10 ml. I think that I can dilute

better my dose in more volume. I know that my solution will only have more

volume but the proportion will be the same.

Example: I am taking 0.175mg of clonazepam daily right now. I am dissolving

0.25mg (half of 0.5mg pill) in 100ml of water plus 2.5g of cornstarch. I am

drinking 70ml of the solution and throwing away 30ml.

Am I correct?
