A certain drug "X" contain 100mg/5ml of drug cefexime. If the patient takes one teaspoonful of the suspension three time daily for 5 day. How many grams of the drug does the patient consume?

Answer 1

First, we need to find out the total amount of drug consumed per day by the patient.

One teaspoonful is equal to 5 ml. So, for one dose of drug X, the patient consumes 5 ml, which contains 100 mg of cefexime.

To find out how much the patient consumes in one day, we need to calculate 100 mg * 3 doses = 300 mg.

Now, we need to find out the total amount consumed in 5 days.

300 mg * 5 days = 1500 mg.

To convert this to grams, we divide by 1000.

1500 mg / 1000 = 1.5 grams.

Therefore, the patient consumes 1.5 grams of the drug over the 5-day period.
