Question

doxycycline 100mg by mouth two times a day. what is the dose in grams? solve using dimentional analysis.

Answer 1

The typical amount of doxycycline for inoculation is 200 mg on the initial day of management managed in one or two infusions. Succeeding everyday dosage is 100 to 200 mg contingent upon the sternness of contamination, with 200 mg managed in one or two infusions.

As we know:

1 milligram (mg) is equal to 1/1000 gram (Gm) and

1 microgram (mcg) is equal to 1/1000 milligram is equal to 1 /1, 000, 000 gram

Therefore, 100*0.001 = 0.1 grams.

100 mg PO will become 0.1 gm.
