Question

Chloroquine is used to prevent or suppress malaria in patients. Two weeks before the patient is potentially exposed to malaria, and for six weeks after the patient has returned, chloroquine is administered once a week (on the same day) at a dose of 500 mg. Suppose the patient spends 13 weeks in an area in which there is high exposure to malaria. How many 250-mg tablets of chloroquine will be administered altogether?

Answer 1

In a week patient need 500mg chloroquine

In a single tablet contain 250mg chloroquine

So patient need 2tablet/week

In 13 week patient need 13×2= 26 tablet of 250mg

Patient use Total 26 tablet of 250 mg
