Question

The patient has instructions to take tetracycline, 0.75g. The medication available in 250mg tablets. How many tablets will the patient take per dose?

Answer 1

Answer #1

Order dose of tetracycline =0.75gm

Available tablets of tetracycline =250mg

First convert 250mg to gram

1mg =0.001gram

Then ,250mg= 0.25gm

1 tablet of tetracycline is 0.25gm

Ordered dose is 0.75gm

So, we have to give 3 tablets of tetracycline to make it 0.75gm.

3 tablets of 0.25gm tetracycline will be given to the patient/ dose .
