Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, is given to adult patients at an initial dose of 5 mg/day. The final (maintenance) dose can be as high as 10 mg/day. If the increase in dosage is 2.5 mg over a 4-day period, how many days will it take to reach the maintenance dose from the initial dose?
Initial dose=5 mg/day
Maintenance dose= 10 mg/ day
An increase of 2.5 mg in every 4 days.
So, after 4 days, the dose will be 5 mg+ 2.5 mg= 7.5 mg
again on 9 th day 2.5 mg will added up to 7.5 mg and become 10 mg.
on 9 th day it will reach to maintenance dose of 10 mg/day.

An initial adult dose of rosuvastatin consists of 5 mg/day. This is increased every two weeks by 5 mg/day until therapeutic results are achieved. How many weeks are needed to reach the maximum maintenance dose of 40 mg/day?
the initial adult dose of metformin, an antigyperglycemic drug, is 1000 mg/day. The dose is increased in increments of 509 mg/day each week until therapeutic results are achieved. If this increase occurs over a period of 2 weeks, what will be the dose at the beginning of the third week
Another treatment for low calcium levels is ergocalciferol (vitamin D2). An average adult dose is around 2.5 mg/day. If taken in the liquid form, which has a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml, how many milliliters of the drug solution would one daily dose contain?
Levodopa, a drug used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, has a small initial dose followed by a steady increase over several days. Suppose a patient is given three doses a day. Each administration is 250 mg on the first day, and is increased by 250 mg every fourth day. The maintenance dose is reached after 28 days. Calculate the initial and final daily doses of levodopa administered to the patient.
