Injections - How Much is an ml, cc, IU?

In many countries, steroids are legal and can be purchased over the counter. As a result many of these anabolic injections are administered by users. The following information is helpful in converting the drug. This article does not support the use of illegal drugs.

I. U. = international unit. This is the unit used to measure the activity (that is, the effect) of many vitamins and medicines. For each ingredient used by this unit, there is an international agreement stating the expected biological effects of 1 IU dose. The quantities of other materials are then expressed as inclusions of this standard. This also means that this measure is not based on the volume or weight of the material alone, but rather the effect.

ml = milliliters. This is a VOLUME measurement. it's 1/1000 liters. when it comes to water or similar fluids, it is equivalent to one cubic centimeter.

cc = cubic centimeters. This is also a VOLUME measurement. Most needles inject their capacities in cc. If you have a 5cc syringe, it will hold ~ 5ml of liquid in it.

mg = milligrams. This is a WEIGHT measurement. It's 1/1000 grams. the amount of chemicals is often measured in milligrams. For the injection solution, this will be reported as a heavy concentration in volume, such as mg / ml (milligrams per milliliter). In the case of oral ingredients, the weight of the chemical is labeled, with the actual weight of the pill / capsule possibly higher, due to the use of filler material. This means that small pills may be stronger than large pills, so don't judge pills based on their size, but the actual amount of material labeled as.

mcg = microgram = 1/1000 of mg (milligrams) There are a thousand micrograms in one millimeter.

Conversion factors:

1000 mcg (microgram) = 1 mg (milligrams)

1000 mg (milligrams) = 1 g (gram)

1000 g (grams) = 1 kg (pounds)

1000 ml (milliliter) = 1 liter

1ml (water) = 1cc (water)

1ml (oil) ~ 1cc (oil) (~ marked almost)

For example putting everything together

Let's say users have XYX drugs from two different companies. One is 'XYX-300'. from QV, and one of the BM's 'XYZ-100'. Both are XYZ DRUGs, but they have different concentrations. What that means is ....

for XYZ-300:

if you take 1 ml (one milliliter) of this solution, it will take ~ 1cc (one centimeter) of space in the syringe. There will be 300mg (three hundred milligrams) of XYZ in this dose.

for XYZ-100:

if you take 1 ml (one milliliter) of this solution, it will take ~ 1cc (one centimeter) of space in the syringe. There will be 100mg (one hundred milligrams) of XYZ in this dose.

If you put the injections next to them, they look the same, so what's the difference? The XYZ-300 has a concentration of 300mg / ml, while the XYZ-100 has only 100mg / ml. This means that the syringe with the XYZ-300 has three times (3x) the amount of DRUG XYZ in the same amount as the syringe with the XYZ-100.
