Answer #1
  • doctor prescribed tetracycline syrup 150mg per oral(PO),two times in a day ( BID)
  • medication label is 50 mg / ml

150 mg of syrup is given to the patient two times in a day(BID)

=150×2=300mg

so the patient take 300 mg of syrup in a day

= 50 mg of drug  is present per 1 mL of syrup

50mg ----- 1mL

300mg ------x?

x = 1×300/50

= 6 mL

  300mg of drug is present in 6mL of syrup.....

so the conclusion is: administration of syrup is 6mL per day
