To calculate the patient's total daily dose of Armour Thyroid, we need to know the number of tablets the patient takes in a day.
Given:
Armour Thyroid: 30 mg/tab
Dose frequency: BID (twice a day)
To find out the total daily dose, we will calculate the dose per tablet and then multiply it by the number of tablets taken in a day.
Dose per tablet: 30 mg
Number of tablets per dose: 1
Total dose per dose (tablet dose * number of tablets): 30 mg * 1 tablet = 30 mg
Since the dose frequency is BID (twice a day), we multiply the total dose per dose by 2 to get the total daily dose:
Total daily dose = Total dose per dose * Dose frequency
Total daily dose = 30 mg * 2 = 60 mg
Therefore, the patient's total daily dose of Armour Thyroid is 60 mg.
