Nella descrizione di un antibiotico per suini:

COMPOSIZIONE
[ingrediente attivo]...................................................250 mg
Eccipienti q.b. a............................................................1 m

Q.B deve essere "quanto basta", ma cos'e' l'unita' finale? non conosco unita' di misura che si abbreviano a M, salvo forse per Metro, che e' un'ovvia assurdita'. Io credo che questo sia un errore di stampa. Mi sbaglio? E cosa ritenete ci debba essere, se e' cosi'? Grazie.

Explanation:
Is this a vaccine?
If so I'd say it might be 1 ml:
"Eccipienti q.b. a............................................................1 ml"

Excipients qs 1 ml

Notes to answerer
Asker: It is an antibiotic given in water or liquid feed, so, yes, Ml would make sense.

Asker: I now looked up the original and you are definitely correct. The ML unit is mentioned elsewhere in the entry. Thank you.
