Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 If 1/4 teaspoon of 1% = 10 mg of cortisol then 1/4 teasp of 2.5% =25 mg of cortisol Cheri -----Original Message----- I've looked back at old posts and found the conversion for 1% HC cream that you buy over the counter. I found some prescription HC ointment 2.5% that I had previously had prescribed for blisters I kept getting on my hands. It doesn't expire until next August, so I thought I might as well use it. However, I'm not sure how to do a conversion. Would it be 1.5 times stronger? So I would use 1.5 times less than the over the counter stuff? Or is the whole thing too complicated and i should just throw the tube out? Thanks! Cherie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ahhh...I see....It seems so simple once you put it like that....I'm sure I could have figured that out in about 20 years or so on my own....I'm blaming it on the brain fog! What's really scary is I almost majored in math in college. I miss my brain!
