PERCENT (%) AND RATIO SOLUTION LABELS
Drugs labeled as percentage solutions often express the dosage strength in metric mea-
sures in addition to percentage strength. The lidocaine label in Figure 9-6, a 2% solu-
tion, is an example.
PROBLEMS 9.3
Refer to the lidocaine label in Figure 9-6 to answer the following questions.
1. How many mL are needed for a 10 mg dosage?
2. How many mL for a 20 mg dosage?
3. If you are asked to prepare 5 mL of a 2% solution,
how many mL would you draw up?
4. If you are asked to prepare 15 mg?
But directly underneath this is a "20 mg/mL" designation. Lidocaine HCl is most often
ordered in mg, but it is also used as a local anesthetic, and when it is, a physician may ask
you to prepare a volume dosage specifying % strength.
