1 milliliter of water (ml)
Equals : 0.04 ounces of water (oz wt.)
Fraction : 1/25 ounces of water (oz wt.)
Answer:
50 mg.
Explanation:
From the prescription, 240 ml amount is to be prepared containing 30 ml tussin syrup. As the frequency is 5 mL qid, it means 5mL of syrup is to be administered four times daily i.e. 20 mL daily. To calculate the amount of tussin taken daily,
<em> </em><em><u>30 mL tussin</u></em><em> = </em><em><u>X mL of tussin</u></em>
<em> 240 mL solution 20ml solution</em>
⇒ 2.5 mL of tussin
5 ml tussin contains 100mg guafenesin,
So,
⇒ 2.5 ml of tussin contains 100x2.5/5 = 50 mg guaifenesin
