Epinephrine is formulated as 1 ml of 1 in 1000 solution (1 mg) or 10 ml of 1 in 10,000 solution (1 mg).

1 in 1000 = 1g in 1000 ml of solution (1 g = 1000 mg).

Local anaesthetic agents and glucose containing solutions are expressed as a percentage.

A 1% solution is 1 g per 100 ml solution or 1000 mg per 100 ml solution.

10 ml of a 1% solution contains 100 mg of solute.
