Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 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.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Can you pls show me by an advert anywhere what one of these scales looks like. I have never heard of one, but would perhaps be interested to get one.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thanks. Now I know what I am looking for, although this supplier does not ship to the Uk. Val http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=213 This is the scale I have. Works very well. Weighs to 1/10 of a gram.
