Comparing Drug Doses

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D.

A man asked:

I just wanted to find out how much a 250 microgram (mcg) dose of Xanax (Alprazolam) compares with a 1 milligram (mg) tablet of Valium (Diazepam). I can’t seem to work this out!

It’s quite easy. There are 1,000 micrograms (mcg) in a milligram (mg), so 4 x 250 microgram tablets would be the same as 1 mg.

However, this has nothing to do with the strength of the various drugs. The strength of drugs varies, so, for exmaple, a 250 mcg dose of one drug might be pharmaceutically equivalent to a 5 mg dose of another drug. This is another story entirely.

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life [which also includes perfect hearing] through Jesus Christ our Lord." [Romans 6:23]

 

"But know this, in the last days perilous times will come" [2 Timothy 3:1]. "For there will be famines, pestilences, and [severe] earthquakes in various places"  [Matthew 24:7], "distress of nations, the sea and the waves roaring"—tsunamis, hurricanes—Luke 21:25, but this is good news if you have put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, for "when these things begin to happen, lift up your heads [and rejoice] because your redemption draws near" [Luke 21:28].
