A 10lb cat needs 3 1/2 tanlets that each contain 6 mg of a drug. Whats the equivalent dose in mg/Kg
ANSWER.
* Equivalent dose in mg/kg.
Weight of the cat = 10 lb.
Convert lb to kg for calculation
1lb = 0.45 kg.
So
Weight of the cat = 4.5 kg.
Each tablet = 6 mg.
Total tablet required for the cat = 3.5 tablets (31/2tab).
Total mg of tablet required = 3 * 6 + 3 mg(1/2 tab)
= 18 + 3
= 21 mg.
Equivalent dose in mg/kg = 21mg / 4.5 kg.

1. A new drug was given in a single intravenous dose of 200 mg to an 80- kg adult male patient. The apparent VD is 0.8 L/kg, and the drug is eliminated by 1st order kinetics. Compute the initial drug plasma concentration. 2. A drug has an elimination half-life of 4 hours and follows first-order kinetics. If a single 600-mg dose is given to a patient by IV bolus, what percent of the dose is lost in 12 hours?
