A prescription for amoxicillin comes in an oral suspension that is 250 mg/5.0 mL. A patient is prescribed 500 mg every 6 h. How many milliliters of amoxicillin should the patient take per dose? How many teaspoons? How many teaspoons per day?

Answer 1

Put the numbers down and look at them.
You want 500 mg per dose. Your solution is 250 mg/5.0 mL so wouldn't you think the patient will need 10.0 mL?
(250 mg/5.0 mL) x # mL = 500 mg
# mL = 500*5.0/250 = 10
You can go to google and convert to teasoons
