It means that if you could pour Liquid Tylenol into a 12.5 milliliter cup and separate all of the ingredients, you would find that it contains 325 milligrams of acetaminophen (the active ingredient that relieves pain) along with some inactive ingredients like flavorings. The doctor orders 260 milligrams of acetaminophen for a patient.

- A 110 pound patient is prescribed a maintenance dose of haloperidol. If the dosing regimen is 0.5 mg/kg/day divided into three doses, identify the dose the patient should receive in milligrams (mg).arrow_forwardA dosage descibes the amount of medication administered over a specified period of time with a certain frequency of dosing. A dose descibes the amount of medication administered at one time. Most drugs are prescribed to pediatric patients at a dosage based on the patient's weight. For pediatric patients, the dosage of the antibiotic cephalexin is 24.5 mg/kg/day administered in 4 doses throughout the day. How many milligrams of cephalexin would a 61.0 lb child receive at each dose? (2.2 lb = 1 kg) A total of 679 mg cephalexin should be administered to the 61.0 lb patient each day.
