The doctor writes a prescription for aminophylline 125mg PO qid x 10 days. Only the actions of violence 250MG/5ML. How many teaspoons of many would be needed for one dose? How MLS would be required for the contract will be executed in full?
5 ml = 1 teaspoon
ReplyDelete15 ml = 1 1 tablespoon
They have 50 mg / ml
You need 125 mg = 2.5 ml = 1 / 2 teaspoon
Qid = 4 times daily as needed
1 / 2 teaspoon dose x 4 x 10 days = do the rest
It seems that 40 cans
As others have noted, the dose would be half a teaspoon or 2.5 ml four times per day.
ReplyDeleteBut very important: Many forms of aminophylline liquid suspension should be shaken well, otherwise the first dose is diluted and the final dose is concentrated. Both situations are bad.
Secondly, a teaspoon size using drugs, not with a spoon when you give the wrong amount.
Finally, four times a day four times a day, can 8 to 12 to 4 to 8, which means a gap in treatment, 12 hours. Personally, all the required 6 hours aminophylline, every six hours. It is uncomfortable to sleep, but more physiological. And actually, finally, there are better drugs, aminophylline, many of them are administered every 12 hours or less?
