A provider orders digoxin, 250mcg, PO, once daily. The pharmacy provides digoxin in tablets containing 0.125mg. Calculate the number of tablets to be administered per dose. Round to the nearest half tablet.
ANSWER.
* Calculation of number of tablets required.
Ordered dose = 250 mcg.

1 mg = 1000 mcg.
So
Available dose = 0.125 * 1000
= 125 mcg.
Number of tablets required = 250/125
= 2 tablets per day.
