liquid digoxin is available as 0.05mg/ml. How much would you need for a dose of 36 mcg?
ANSWER.
* Calculation of volume(ml) of drug required.
Volume(ml) = Desired dose(D)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q)
Here
Desired dose(D) = 36 mcg.
Dose in hand(H) = 0.05 mg
Convert mg to mcg for calculation
1 mg = 1000 mcg
So
Dose in hand (H) = 0.05 * 1000
= 50 mcg.
Quantity(Q) = 1 ml.
As per above formula
Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q
= 36/50 * 1
= 0.7 * 1
= 0.7 ml.
