The physician prescribes Gabapentin 20 mg PO QID.
The pharmacy has available Gabapentin syrup 10 mg/5 ml. The client should receive ml per day?
40 ml
20 ml
30 ml
10 ml
The Correct Answer is A
Concentration = 10 mg per 5 ml → 2 mg/ml.
Each 20 mg dose = 20 mg ÷ 2 mg/ml = 10 ml per dose.
QID = 4 doses → 10 ml × 4 = 40 ml per day.
