Strengths are read from FDA's package text, one row an amount ("10 mg/1 mL" and "50 mg/5 mL (10 mg/mL)" are one row, 10 mg/mL), in the unit FDA wrote; where FDA gives only an amount per volume, the amount per mL is worked out ("5 g/100 mL" is 50 mg/mL); the package sizes are listed under each strength.
