A Biest 1mg (50/50) 30 mL prescription requires how much estriol and estradiol, in grams?

BiEst 1 mg (50/50) 30 mL means each milliliter contains 1 mg total estrogen, split equally between estriol and estradiol. For 30 mL, total estrogen is 30 mg, with half as estriol and half as estradiol. That gives 15 mg of estriol and 15 mg of estradiol. Converting to grams: 15 mg is 0.015 g, so you need 0.015 g estriol and 0.015 g estradiol. The other options don’t reflect the equal 50/50 split or misplace the decimal/units.
