To convert erythropoietin IU to milligrams, you need to know the specific activity of the erythropoietin preparation you are using. The specific activity is typically provided by the manufacturer and is expressed as IU/mg. Once you have the specific activity, you can divide the amount of IU by the specific activity to obtain the equivalent amount in milligrams.
To convert International Units (IU) to milligrams, you need to know the potency conversion factor specific to the substance you are working with. Once you have this factor, you can use the formula: milligrams = IU x potency conversion factor. This will give you the equivalent amount in milligrams.
You cannot convert IUs into milligrams. IUs measure the potency of a drug; they are not used to measure the weight of something.
There are 10 micrograms in 400 IU of vitamin D. Converting micrograms to milligrams, there are 0.01 milligrams in 10 micrograms. Therefore, 400 IU is equal to 0.4 milligrams.
The conversion factor for vitamin E is 1.49. To get from IU to milligrams of alpha-tocopherol equivalents, divide by 1.49. Example: 30IU divided by 1.49 yields 20 mg alpha equivalents. To get from milligrams to IU, multiply by 1.49. Example: 10 mg alpha equivalents equals 15 IU (rounded up from 14.9).
There are 50 micrograms in 2000 IU of vitamin D.
