To calculate the appropriate number of tablets, we need to find the number of milligrams the patient should receive per dose, and then divide the total dose by the strength of the tablets.
The patient receives Armour Thyroid 60 mg twice a day, so the total daily dose would be:
60 mg x 2 = 120 mg/day
Since the available tablets are Armour Thyroid 30 mg per tablet, we divide the total daily dose by the strength of the tablets to find the number of tablets needed:
120 mg/day / 30 mg/tab = 4 tablets/day
Therefore, the patient would need to take 4 tablets of Armour Thyroid 30mg/tab per day.
