OTC Cream and My Weigh Max 200 scale

[Guest guest]

Hello:

I need help.

I could not find a good dosing container-measurer for the OTC cream. So I

have been winging it. I just found out we own the My Weigh MX-200 scale. I

charged the batteries and recalculated it to g (grams). My choices are g,

oz,dwt or ozt. How do I weigh 2.5mg on this scale. Help! And now, since I

have been winging the dosage, where do I start, or do I have to stop and start

this whole process again.

I won't be much help with the scale, but you should be able to find a

syringe at most pharmacies or stores like Wal-mart. It is made to give

medicine orally to infants. It looks just like a fat shot, but without the

needle part.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright

Rie,

I have that syringe and I do not like it. I filled it up and air was shot

out and then the cream just kept oozing out. I was unhappy with that......

Just looking for and easier way to make life easier.

I wish the MD would give me Cortef.

Thank you very much. I have winged it in the past 3 weeks, and find I am

fluid filled-is this a side effect of too much cortisol?

It can be or it is unmasking a hypo symptom, but I would try to take more

accurate use of the cream.

I plan on it! Thank-u!

You can work it out like this:

1 oz of 1% HC cream weighs 28 grams

This would contain 1% or 280mg cortisone

1oz equals 6 tsps OR 24 1/4 tsps

Thus 280mg cortisone divided by 24 1/4 tsps equals 11.666mg per each 1/4 tsp

of 1% HC cream

If you want to be as accurate as possible and use a hand held scale which

measures to one/tenth gram

1 mg = .085 gram

5 mg = .425 gram

7 mg = .595 gram

10mg = .85 gram

Using the 10mg per 1/4 tsp is just rounding. When I am home I use the scale

and measure like I've shown above. When away from home, I either take HC

tablets or use a 1/4 tsp to measure.
