The recommended maximum adult dosage of loperamide for diarrhea is 8 mg/day. Suppose three day’s supply of loperamide consists of 12 capsules. How much loperamide is in each capsule?
Opium is sometimes used as a treatment for diarrhea. An average dose consists of 12 drops of opium tincture mixed with water. This can be administered up to four times a day. If there are 15 drops per milliliter and the concentration of the solution is 10 mg/ml, how many milligrams of opium are in a day’s dose?
Homework Answers
8 mg/day is the dose and three day's supply consists of 12 capsules.
So, three day supply is total of 8 x 3 = 24 mg.
So, 1 capsule = 24 mg/12 capsules = 2 mg/capsule.
Average dose consists of 12 drops administered Q. I. D.
So, total drops = 12 x 4 = 48 drops.
15 drops/ml is the concentration and this means 48 drops = 3.2 ml.
10mg/ml is concentration and this means 3.2 ml = 32 mg.
So, 32 mg of opium in a day's dose.
