To calculate the volume of Tramadol Hydrochloride injection needed to administer 80 mg, given the stock concentration of 50 mg in 2 mL, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Volume required (mL)} = \frac{\text{Desired dose (mg)}}{\text{Stock concentration (mg/mL)}}
\]
1. First, determine the stock concentration in mg/mL:
\[
\text{Stock concentration} = \frac{50 \text{ mg}}{2 \text{ mL}} = 25 \text{ mg/mL}
\]
2. Now, plug in the desired dose and stock concentration into the formula:
\[
\text{Volume required} = \frac{80 \text{ mg}}{25 \text{ mg/mL}} = 3.2 \text{ mL}
\]
Therefore, you would fill in the prescription and stock as follows:
**Prescription:**
80 mg
**Stock:**
25 mg/mL
Thus, the required volume of the injection is **3.2 mL**.
\[
\text{Volume required (mL)} = \frac{\text{Desired dose (mg)}}{\text{Stock concentration (mg/mL)}}
\]
1. First, determine the stock concentration in mg/mL:
\[
\text{Stock concentration} = \frac{50 \text{ mg}}{2 \text{ mL}} = 25 \text{ mg/mL}
\]
2. Now, plug in the desired dose and stock concentration into the formula:
\[
\text{Volume required} = \frac{80 \text{ mg}}{25 \text{ mg/mL}} = 3.2 \text{ mL}
\]
Therefore, you would fill in the prescription and stock as follows:
**Prescription:**
80 mg
**Stock:**
25 mg/mL
Thus, the required volume of the injection is **3.2 mL**.
