Strength and Quantity Are Different
Product strength describes the amount or concentration of an ingredient associated with a stated unit, measured amount or total container volume, depending on how the product is labeled. Quantity describes how many units or how much total volume is supplied. Strength, concentration, total content, pack size and quantity are related but are not interchangeable. These values help customers compare product listings, but they do not determine which product or amount is appropriate for an individual.
Reviewing Pack Size
Pack size describes how much product is supplied. Depending on the product format, this may include a tablet or capsule count, number of vials, pens or sachets, bottle size, or total liquid volume. A larger pack does not necessarily indicate a higher product strength.
Comparing Product Variations
When comparing different options or variations for a product, review the full specification details:
- Product name
- Strength or concentration
- Measurement units, such as mg, mcg, g, mL or mg/mL
- Product Format or Dosage Form, such as tablet, capsule, vial, pen, sachet, bottle or another listed format
- Number of units
- Total volume where applicable
- Selected fulfillment route
- Price for the selected variation
- Storage requirements
Confirming the Selected Variation
Customers should recheck the selected product name, strength or concentration, measurement units, product format, unit count and variation details before adding an item to the cart and again before completing checkout. Do not assume that two products are interchangeable because their names, strengths, measurement units or pack quantities appear similar. Review the exact product information and applicable professional instructions.
