Question

B. The doctor would like to write a prescription for 5 ml of Erythromycin antibiotic saline solution, but he is unsure of the strength that the pharmacy has on hand. Your pharmacy stocks 750 mg of Erythromycin in a 10 ml vial, what would be the recommended dosage to the physician?

Answer 1

We have that:

$$750 \, mg = 10 \, ml \Rightarrow 5 \, ml = 375 \, mg.$$

So, the recommended dosage is $375 \, mg$.

Answer: $375 \, mg$
