Secondly,I would appreciate if you would explain a little bit about the units of measurement in the case of use of tablets meds in the USA. In most countries in the ocidental world uses the unit mg (miligrams) to indicate the amount of a product in a med tablet. In this way we say each tablet contains 100 mg of levedopa,etc. Then I ask you,how to interpret the units 10/100 and 25/250 of Sinemet,standard or CR ?
