To find out how many tablets of Lanoxin (0.25 mg) to give for a dose of 0.125 mg, you can use the following calculation:
1. **Determine the dose required**: 0.125 mg
2. **Determine the dose available**: 0.25 mg
Next, you can find out how many 0.25 mg tablets are needed to achieve a 0.125 mg dose:
\[
\text{Number of tablets} = \frac{\text{Dose required}}{\text{Dose available}} = \frac{0.125 \text{ mg}}{0.25 \text{ mg}} = 0.5
\]
So, you would give half of a 0.25 mg tablet, which is equal to 0.125 mg.
