By using the known half-life, we can see that if the initial dose is 500mg, after 4 days the medication will be 0.0076 mg.
<h3>
What is the half-life?</h3>
We define half-life as the time such that the initial amount is reduced to its half.
So, if a given substance has a half-life T, then the amount of substance as a function of time, we have:
S(t) = A*e^{-t*ln(2)/T}
Where t is the variable in time units.
We know that T = 6 hours, and A, the initial dose, is 500 mg, so the formula is:
S(t) = 500mg*e^{-t*ln(2)/6h}
Then after 4 days (or 4*24h = 96h) the amount of medication is:
S(96h) = 500mg*e^{-96h*ln(2)/6h} = 0.0076 mg.
If the initial dose was 750mg, after 4 days the person would have:
S(96h) = 750mg*e^{-96h*ln(2)/6h} = 0.0114 mg
So the person would have:
0.0114 mg - 0.0076 mg = 0.038 mg more of medication.
