Question

How many macro drops equal 5mL

Answer 1

Macro drops and microdrops (often referred to as "gtts" or "gtt") are two different units of measuring the flow rate of liquids. The number of drops in 1 mL can vary depending on the size of the dropper, but a common approximation is:

1 mL ≈ 20 macro drops (gtts)

So, if you want to know how many macro drops equal 5 mL:

5 mL × 20 macro drops/mL = 100 macro drops

Therefore, 5 mL is roughly equivalent to 100 macro drops. Please note that this is an approximate conversion, and the exact number of drops can vary based on the dropper size and liquid viscosity.

Answer 2

Answer: If you have 2 ml of liquid you have 2 times 20, that is 40 drops. If you have 5 mls of liquid, you have 5 lots of 20, that is 100 drops. In short, if you want to convert from mls to drops and this is when dealing with an adult patient and you are using macro drops, you multiply the number of mls by 20.
