First day dosage
Loading dose=100 mg
Maintenance dose=50 mg * 2=100 mg
Total dosage=100+100=200 mg
Maintenance dose for 1 day= 50 mg * 3(times a day)
=150 mg/day
Maintenance dose for 6 days=150 mg * 6=900 mg
Total dosage in 1 week=200+900=1100 mg
Since 1 ml contains 50 mg,
1 ml=50 mg
X =1100 mg(X=unknown ml)
X *50=1100*1
X=1100/50=22 millilitres,So 22 ml of solution will be needed for 1 week.
On the first day a loading dose of 100 mg and a maintenance dose of 50 mg twice a day is given.So a total of 200 mg is given in the first day of the week.
For calculating the dose for the next 6 days,the dose for 1 day need to be find out which is 50 multiplied by 3(as it is given thrice a day) equals 150 mg per day.
So dose for 6 days is 150 mg multiplied 6 equals 900 mg
Total dose in 1 week is calculated as 200+900=1100 mg
Since 1 ml contains 50 mg,millilitres of solution needed for one week will be 1100 divided by 50 equals 22 millilitres
Therefore, 22 millilitres of solution will be needed for 1 week
