Not sure - those are FDA requirements - OSHA MSDS filings apparently allow the use of percentages, FDA requires weight or volume.

I'm still confused about the language on Hikma's label - it says 1 g capsule in several places (as does V's label), but clearly these capsules are 1.4 g or 1.5 g - huh? This is from Hikma label:

DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
