To determine the desired amount of medication (s) without the name, we can use the following equation:
Desired amount = (Dose prescribed × Volume per dose) / Strength of medication
Given information:
Dose prescribed = 500 mg
Volume per dose = 5 ml
Strength of medication = 125 mg/5 ml
Plugging the values into the equation:
s = (500 mg × 5 ml) / (125 mg/5 ml)
Now, divide:
s = (500 mg × 5 ml) / (125 mg/5 ml)
s = (2500 mg * ml) / (125 mg * ml/5 ml)
s = 2500 / (125/5)
s = 2500 / 25
s = 100
Therefore, the desired amount of medication (s) without the name is 100.
