Description
PERSANTINE (dipyridamole) is supplied as a sterile vial containing 50 mg of dipyridamole/10 mL. How many mL are required to be administered to a patient weighing 100 pounds if the dose is 0.57 mg dipyridamole/kg?
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
50 mg / 10 mL = 5 mg / 1 mL
100 lbs = 45.35 kg
45.35 patient kg * 0.57 drug mg / patient kg = 25.85 drug mg
25.85 drug mg * 1 mL / 5 drug mg = 5.17 mL dipyridamole :)
