For example:
the dose of ceftriaxone in mLs for meningitis for a 5-yr-old weighing 18 kg. The dose required is 100 mg/kg/day given IV once daily and the drug comes prediluted in a concentration of 40 mg/mL.
Step 1. Calculate the dose in mg: | 18 kg × 100 mg/kg/day = 1800 mg/day |
Step 2. Divide the dose by the frequency: | 1800 mg/day ÷ 1 (daily) = 1800 mg/dose |
Step 3. Convert the mg dose to mL: | 1800 mg/dose ÷ 40 mg/mL = 45 mL once daily |
