How many grams of hydrocortisone should be used in preparing 120 suppositories, each weighing 2 g and containing 0.5% of hydrocortisone?
0.5% of hydrocortisone suppository weighing 2g contains 0.01g of hydrocortisone. See calculation below for clarification
2g of hydrocortisone suppository with concentration of 0.5% means, it contains hydrocortisone as calculated below
= 0.5 ×2g ÷100
=0.01g
Required quantity of hydrocortisone to prepare 120 suppositories ( weighing 2g each with 0.5% of hydrocortisone) as below
For each suppository 0.01g required
For 120 suppositories= 120 × 0.01g
=1.2g
Finally to prepare 120 suppositories weighing 2g containing 0.5% of hydrocortisone requires 1.2g of hydrocortisone.
