hc ointment vs. cream

[Guest guest]

If 1/4 teaspoon of 1% = 10 mg of cortisol

then 1/4 teasp of 2.5% =25 mg of cortisol

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!

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!
