suspension. The medication is given in 2
doses per day, in 60.00 mg/dose
How many mL are needed for 5 days treatment?

Respuesta :

100 mL are needed for 5 days treatment.

Tamiflu is prescribed as a 6.000 mg tablet, oral suspension of mg/mL. The medication is administered twice daily, at a dose of 60.00 mg.

As a result,

the total amount of tamiflu administered in a day is equal to 60.00 × 2 mg, which equals 120.00 mg.

Tamiflu dosage required in total for five days is five.

  =5× 120.00 mg

  = 600.00 mg

Considering that 1 mL contains 6,000 mg, 100 mL is required for 5 days.

Another option is 600.00 mg in (1 mL× 600.00 mg/6.000 mg).

= 100 mL are needed for 5 days treatment
