To convert milliequivalents (mEq) of potassium citrate to milligrams (mg), you need to know the molar mass of potassium citrate. If we assume potassium citrate has a molar mass of approximately 306 g/mol, then 40 mEq of potassium citrate would be equivalent to about 12.2 grams or 12,200 milligrams.
To convert potassium dosage from mg to mEq, you need to divide the amount in mg by the potassium molar mass, which is approximately 39.1 g/mole. In this case, 99mg of potassium is roughly equal to 2.53 mEq. To reach 20 mEq, you would need to take around 7.9 tablets.
