1.7 mg per meter squared? - Anon

Posted: Dec 01, 2010

My brain needs a jump start!! We actually type this 1.7 mg per square centimeters? Is that correct?

We use 1.7 mg/cm2. - NM

Per square centimeter would be:

1.7 mg/cm2

Per meter squared would be: 1.7 mg/m2

If you're talking medication dosage, it's always per meter squared, so mg/m2.
