Question

Azithromycin suspension dosing is 10 mg/kg/d and is available in 200mg/5ml doses. how many ml would a 25kg child receive daily? 7.5 ml 5.0 ml 6.25 ml 6.0 ml

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 6.25ml

To answer this question, you need to calculate the azithromycin drug doses for this patient. The calculation would be: 25kg * 10mg/kg/d= 250mg/d

Then multiply the doses with the available drug. It would be:
250 mg/d / (200mg/5ml)= 6.25ml/d
