According to the information on the drug itself, 10mEq of potassium citrate = 1080mg, therefore 60 mEq would be 6 times this, or 6480 mg. that's a lot of potassium!

How many mEq per hr will the patient receive if the patient has 40 mEq potassium chloride hanging in 1000ml of sodium chloride if it is to run over 24 hr?
1.67mEq Potassium per hour
How is the concentration of potassium demonstrated?
The concentration of potassium is often expressed in units of milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L)
Potassium is measured in what units?
Potassium levels in humans are measured in a unit known as milliEquivalents per Liter or (mEq/L).
How can you convert Meq to Mg?
fo potassium 60 mEq K = 60 millimoles 39.1 grams per mole ( 0.060moles) = 2.346 grams =2346 mg
How many grams is 1 meq?
Per FDA factsheet ... Potassium chloride extended-release capsules, USP, 10 mEq is an oral dosage form of microencapsulated potassium chloride containing 750 mg of potassium chloride USP equivalent to 10 mEq of potassium.
What does 10 meq mean on my prescription?
MEG on a script means milliequivalent & doesn't really tell you the measurement, it must be for potassium; it's very thought provoking I too have been trying to figure this out. you just want to know the mg huh? Evie mEq is used to denote an amount of a solute in a liter of solvent (i.e. the blood).For instance, potassium (K) is often measured as mEq/L or mEq/dL. 10 mEq is equivalent to 750 mg, USP. -See related link: DailyMed.After some research using various websites, the typical K intake per day is ~ 3.5 grams (3500 mg.). At the same time the usual K intake is stated elsewhere as 50-100 mEq/day. So, 1 mEq is somewhere in the range [70 mg, 35 mg.] (i.e., 3500/50 to 3500/100). Using the mid-point of the 50-100 mEq range (75), we get: 1 mEq ~ 46.7 mg -or-10mEq ~ 467 mg.A harder question is: If you start taking an additional 20 mEq of K today, how long does it take to show up in a blood test ?
What is the normal range potassium?
Every lab determines it own exact range. It is usually somewhere around 3.5 to 5 mEq (or mMol) per liter.
What nutrients does pepsi contain?
Pepsi has 48 calories per 100g
How many mg is equal to a milliequivalent?
Millequivalents is a form of stating the amount of substance in a solution or chemical composition. It is usually abbreviated to mEq or meq. One example of its use would be the healthy level of potassium in human blood is between 3.5 and 5.0 mEq per litre.
How much sodium is used in the body?
That can vary depending on a number of factors but barring some extreme circumstances most people need 1-2 mEq of sodium per kilogram of weight per day. That means that a 70 kg (154 lb) person needs 70-140 mEq which equals a little less than 2-4 grams of salt per day. The average American consumes closer to 10 grams of salt per day.
How many grams of potassium per day?
100 grams
How much potassium do a person need per day?
