Given the following prescription for a child (a given #) pounds. If the dose of ranitidine for a child is (a certain # of mg/kg/day) how many of a (a given strength of a tablet) tablets are needed to prepare the following prescription? (Answer to the nearest whole tablet - no decimal point)
Rx
Ranitidine _____
Cherry syrup qsad 120mL
Sig: One teaspoonful twice daily for 8 days
Explanation / Answer
1.
a)Each milliliter of otic solution contains
Antipyrine 54 mg
Benzocaine 14 mg
Dehydrated Glycerin, to make 1 mL
Each milliliter of otic solution contains 54 mg Antipyrine
So 12 ml of otic solution contains 54 mg x 12 = 648 mg Antipyrine
Each milliliter of otic solution contains 14 mg Benzocaine
So 12 ml of otic solution contains 14 mg x 12 = 168 mg
Each milliliter of otic solution contains 1ml Dehydrated Glycerin
So12 ml of otic solution contains 1ml x 12 = 12 ml Dehydrated Glycerin
648 mg antipyrine
168 mg benzocaine
Dehydrated Glycerin ad 12 ml
Answer to the nearest tenth of a gram – one decimal point
0.6 g antipyrine
0.2 g benzocaine
Dehydrated Glycerin ad 12 ml
b) The dose of ranitidine for a child is (a certain # of mg/kg/day)
Ranitidine _____
Given- Cherry syrup qsad 120mL
Sig: One teaspoonful twice daily for 8 days
The sig directions imply that the medication is in the liquid form.
The strength of oral solution 75mg/5ml
Cherry syrup qsad 120mL contains 75 mg x 120 ml/5 ml = 1800 mg
1 tablet contains 75 mg Ranitidine
So in 1800 mg solution contains 1800 mg/75mg = 24 tablet.
