I'm not Randy (I'm much better looking), but I'll try to help.

1mg of whatever per liter of water (or any other medium) equals 1ppm. If you have a 10mg pill, keep in mind that it may weight more than 10mg; the 10mg is just the dose that is contained. Take this 10mg pill and add it to 1 liter of water would give you 10ppm.

Does that help?
