❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I calculate mg/ml for a compounded medication?

This information should be on the prescription or on the label of the compounded medication. Example: "Semaglutide 2.5mg/ml" means 2.5mg for every 1ml.

2. Do the medications have the same efficacy?

This question should be assessed by the prescribing physician, considering aspects such as bioavailability, quality control, and health regulations.

3. Can I switch from compounded to brand-name?

Any change to treatment must be authorized by the prescribing physician. Do not make changes on your own.

4. Does the calculator account for waste?

No. The calculation assumes the full amount of the medication is used. In practice, some may be lost during use.
