How to calculate tablet dosages:
This formula is used to calculate the number of tablets to be administered when given the required dose.
| Desired Dose —————— Available Dose |
= Number of tablets to be given |
N.B. Units for desired dose and available dose must be the same.
Example 1:
A client is ordered 150mg of aspirin. 300 mg aspirin tablets are available. How many tablets would you give?
| 150 mg —————— 300 mg |
= 1/2 tablet |
Example 2:
How many tablets containing 62.5 mcg will be required to give a dose of 0.125 mg?
STEP 1 : CONVERT TO SAME UNITS
Convert 0.125 mg to mcg.
The decimal place is moved 3 places to the right.
0.125 mg = (0.125 * 1000 mcg)
= 125 mcg
STEP 2: CALCULATE
| 125 mcg —————— 62.5 mcg |
= 2 tablets |
