Question

The physical ordered Synthroid 200 mcg by mouth daily. The label reads 1 tablet equals 0.1 mg. How many tablets will you administer?

Answer 1

Ans) Order: Synthroid 200 mcg be mouth daily.

Label contains 1 tablet of 0.1 mg

1 mcg =1/1000 = 0.001 mg

200 mcg = x

x = 200 × 0.001 = 0.2 mg

So, 0.1 mg = 1 tab

0.2 mg = y

y = 0.2/0.1 = 2 tab

To administer 200 mcg dose, 2 tablets should be administered.
