If you assumed the dropper dispenses the same amount in North America and the UK then:

In the 10 mg/ml bottle 1 drop is equal to 0.5 mg so 20 drops would equal 1 ml. 0.5 mg x 20 drops = 10 mg/ml.

The 10 mg/2ml bottle reduces to 5 mg/ml. If 20 drops equals 1 ml then 1 drop is equal to 0.25 mg. 0.25 mg x 20 drops = 5 mg/ml


It is best to talk to a pharmacist about this.

Hi,

The dropper dispenser in UK counts from zero and fills up to 2.5ml. By using this type of dispenser, I count 15 drops for every 0.5ml.

This is the web-link of the medicine I am talking about: medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/28299
