Explanation / Answer

Weight of toddler = 32 lbs = 14.5 kg

Dose given = 30 mg/kg/day

Therefore, amoxicillin administered to toddler of 14.5 kg can be calculated as:

Dose will be= 30 X 14.5 = 435 mg/ day      OR 435 mg/ 24 hrs

The dose is divided equally every 12 hrs,

Therefore dose for every 12 hrs = 435 / 2

= 217.5 mg per 12 hrs

Suspension is available in concentration of 200 mg/5ml.

200 mg Amoxicillin is present in 5 ml of suspension,

Therefore, 217.5 mg will be present in: (5 X 217.5)/ 200 = 5.437 ml

OR on rounding to the nearest whole tenth= 5.4 ml of suspension will be administered every 12 hrs.
