Order = 125mg PO QID
Weight= 40 lb= 18kgs approximately
Available = 25mg/ml
As per order 125mg to be given. So that the dosage in ml= 125mg÷25mg/ml = 5ml
Safe dose = 10- 20 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses.
If we take the maximum safe dose i.e. 20mg/kg
The total safe dose =18kgs*20mg/kg
=360mg/day in 4 divided doses(14.5ml)
Each dose =360mg÷ 4
= 90mg to be given each time
-90mg dose in the ml as per availability = 90mg÷25mg
= each time 3.6ml to be given
