Скачать или смотреть Pharmaceutical Dose Calculations: Exam Prep

Hello Pharmacists👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Welcome to Learn with Purple Pharmy!

The dose calculations are sometimes scarier in a pharmacy setting. Let’s learn a pharmaceutical calculation now.

☘️A doctor prescribes amoxicillin 250mg to a patient. You have a suspension containing 125mg per 5ml in stock. How many mL will you give to this patient?

✅First let’s write down what we have

So, we have 125mg of Amoxicillin in 5ml

✅To give away the prescribed dose of 250mg, we need to give x mL.

✅Now we cross multiply,

(250 × 5)/125

= 10mL ✅

Or simply it is;

125mg in 5ml,
250mg in 10ml,
375mg in 15ml and so on based on the strength of the preparation in hand.
