How do I do conversions from a problem such as: Many pharmaceuticals are dispensed in elixirs with the medicine dissoved in a pleasant tasting liquid. This is espically true of medicines for children. The label on one such elixir reads as follow: 100 mg acetaminophen in 5 mL of liquid. Write a conversion factor showing the amount of acetaminophen.
A patient weighing 80 kg requires an oral daily dose of 12 mg/kg of drug D for 14 days. Drug D is available only as a suspension of 30 mg/ 2 mL. How much suspension (in mL) will this person use during this course of treatment? (You can assume that the patient is fully complaint and no spillage or loss in any other way occurs.)
You are a pharmacist at a drug store and a woman approaches you frantically, holding a bottle of Children's Advil. Her daughter has a fever and the company changed it's formulation. Now, she doesn't know how much medicine to give her daughter. With the old formulation, she gave 1.875 mL dosage that contained 50 mg of ibuprofen per 1.25 mL. The new formula contains 100 mg of ibuprofen per 5 mL. How many mL of medicine should the woman give her daughter?
