Re: Hydrocortisone cream 1%

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

Thanks. Now I know what I am looking for, although this supplier does not ship

to the Uk.

This is the scale I have. Works very well. Weighs to 1/10 of a gram.
