Adult Dosage Answers
Our patient weighs 198lbs. The dose for the drug is 2mg/kg BID. The drug comes in 30mg tablets. How many 30mg tablets will be required each day? |
198lb x 1kg/2.2lb = 90kg
90kg x 2mg/kg = 180mg 180mg x 2 doses per day = 360mg/day 360mg x 1 tab/30mg = 12 tablets per day |
|
|
Patient's weight = 59lb Dose = 12mg/kg/d Concentration = 80mg/5ml Calculate the number of teaspoonfuls required for the daily dose.
|
59lb x 1kg/2.2lb = 26.8kg
26.8kg x 12mg/kg = 321.6mg per day 321.6mg x 5ml/80mg = 20.1ml per day 20.1ml x 1tsp/5ml = 4 teaspoonfuls per day |
|
|
Patient's weight = 120lb Dose = 0.25mg/kg q6° Concentration = 2mg/5ml Calculate the number of teaspoonfuls per dose and the number of ml needed to give a 10 day supply.
|
120lb x 1kg/2.2lb = 54.5kg
54.5kg x 0.25mg/kg = 13.63mg per dose 13.63mg x 5ml/2mg = 34ml per dose 34ml x 1tsp/5ml = 6.8 tsp per dose 34ml/dose x 4 doses per day x 10 days = 1,360ml for 10 day supply |
