why do people talk about units and mg like they are different things

Wikibranch of 7 comments

why do people talk about units and mg like they are different things. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete. The vocabulary, once, since half the questions here are really vocabulary questions. Titration is stepping the dose up slowly for tolerance. Reconstitution is adding water to…

Yes. The starting dose is a tolerance step. It is not supposed to do very much.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
