Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

That depends on the substance being converted. For water 1 gram equals exactly 1 cubic centimeter, i.e. 1 milligram is 0.001 cc. (see metric prefixes).

This is not the case for other substances, for example oil is lighter and mercury is heavier than water.

what is 500 mg to cc

"cc" stands for cubic centimeter and is a unit measurement of volume, whereas "mg" stands for milligram and is a unit measurement of length.

Therefore, you cannot convert from one to another.

Hence, there is a question 500mg of what.

Using a syringe, I take methotrexate for Crohn's disease; my dose has increased from 15 mg to 25 mg, but the syringe is in MLs or CC's - how many cc's would I use to get 25mg of a liquid medicine?
