many pharmaceuticals are dispenced in elixirs with the medicine disolved in a pleasant tasting liquid. this is especially true of medicines of chidlren. the label on one such elixier reads as follows: 100 mg acetaminophen in 5 mL of liquid
A patient weighing 80 kg requires an oral daily dose of 12 mg/kg of drug D for 14 days. Drug D is available only as a suspension of 30 mg/ 2 mL. How much suspension (in mL) will this person use during this course of treatment? (You can assume that the patient is fully complaint and no spillage or loss in any other way occurs.)
You receive the following prescription for a 4-year-old patient:
Gia 20 ms
R clindamycin 150 mg tid for 10 days
Clindamycin is available in 100 mL containers at 75 mg/5 mL. (Remember, all recon-
stituted antibiotics must be shaken to get the proper dose, because they tend to settle.)
What sig will you put on the container? How many containers will you dispense? Where
will you tell the parent to store the suspension? What flavor is the suspension?
