Does anyone have a good potency analogy to explain that drug strengths cannot be directly compared to other drugs? I had a patient that was afraid to take labetalol 200mg because it was “higher than 10mg of lisinopril.” I’m admittedly really bad at translating stuff into layman’s terms and I did th
