1 answer

To find the concentration, we need to determine how many mcg of lanoxin are in 1 ml of the solution.

Given:
- Lanoxin 500mcg per 2ml

To find the concentration, we divide the number of mcg by the number of ml:
500 mcg / 2 ml = 250 mcg/ml

Therefore, the concentration of the lanoxin solution is 250 mcg/ml.
