To figure out the concentration, we need to determine how many tablets of the 30mg strength are needed to meet the prescribed dose of 60mg.
Since the patient is taking 60mg twice a day (bid), they require a total of 120mg/day.
To calculate the concentration, divide the total daily dose by the strength of each tablet:
Concentration = Total daily dose / Tablet strength
Concentration = 120mg / 30mg per tablet
Concentration = 4 tablets per day
Therefore, the concentration is 4 tablets per day.
