@diaper don Actually it wouldn't be 30 days. It depends on the size of the product and the amount of product recommended daily. Some creams can last for 60-90 days. Have a good day.
If I get a prescription for 200 tablets and take 1.5 tablets every 4 hours, then the days supply is 22 & 2/9 (22.222222...). The computer will only take whole numbers. So should the pharmacist bill as a 22 day supply or 23? I told him that it is only a 22 day supply but he insists it is correct to round up to 23. Is this correct?
9 pills are consumed per day. 0.22 repeating days times 9 pills/day makes *2 pills*. Therefore, if you recommend a 22-day supply, then two doses are missing. I'm not sure if this is significant enough to make an argument over. Personally, I think 22 days will suffice.
the daily dose is just the amount times the frequency so i have a pill that is 250mg the order is TID or thrice daily, (three times per day) 250 x 3 = 750 per day total pop in the mg units 750mg per day or you can say 750mg for the day divided three times in one day 750 / 3 = 250mg per dose
i have question so i understand but I'm doing tar and the Sig :lantus 20U SQ 30 minuets tid ac for 3 months. the cost per bottle is 25.95 and need to put how many bottles will I need for this order and of course figure out the amount and I just cant figure it out I don't know if I'm reading to much into it
its a good system, i understand why you would show it this way because in this format you can expand it to the much harder systems, however youre forgetting KISS, the simplest way is best initially aka: 50 pills. two pills per day.... 2x__=50........ 2x25=50...... 25 days.....
@@StudyForceOnline ordered kaletra 400 mg lopinavir/100 mg ritonavir p.o. b.i.d. Label reads 80 mg /20 mg per mL. How many mL will you deliver. I have not had to calculate a dbl medication how would you do this? Thank you
@@surgicaltechcrafter2169 if mL doesn't not have a quantity then it is 1mL. Like in algebra plain x = 1. Plain mL=1. We just learned this in class lol. This is a suspension equation
@@Only1Lynn yes, I know that. This has 2 meds in it. I'm not sure how to solve with two meds on top over that 1 mL. Do I calculate each individually? Thank you
@@surgicaltechcrafter2169 so basically the doctor order the brand name kaletra 400mg but what's available is the generic form in the pharmacy is lopinavir/ritonavir 100mg the doctor wants 400mg of lopinavir/ritonavir. So you would work out the butterfly method 80mg/5ml till you get what ever 400mg is to (x)mL 80mg =400mg ------------------------- 5mL = (x)mL
Why is the QTY NUMBER ON THE bottle label HIGHER THAN THE AMOUNT OF PILLS IN THE BOTTLE. The number on the label is QTY 150 when there are only 30 5mg pills in the bottle.
I have a question. My question on my paper says "If 10 units are injected twice daily, how many days supply in 12 ml?" Which formula would I need to use and how would I know to use that particular formula? Days Supply = Quantity Dispensed / Daily Dose OR Quantity Dispensed = Daily Dose × Days Supply My answer choices are A. 6 B. 60 C. 120 D. 240
Can someone calculate this for me? Prescription: Suboxone Films 8mg/2mg. Place 1 and 1/8 films under the tongue once daily. Patient is given 30 films. How many days should the prescription last?
Hi Tandi. Using the same formula, it would be 30/ 1 x 1and 1/8 = 30/1.125 = 26.6, you always round down, so the prescription should last about 26 days.
Every night I'm in bed at 12 I can't sleep pat 5am to save my life. Which my doctor has known about for the past 9years and has tried to fix but there's no use. Lol. Anyway not the issue at hand. So when the Dr writes the script at Every 4 hours please tell me the month supply. I need to know if I'm doing the right math equation.
if your prescription is every four hours, thats six times per day your daily amount is spread over six equal portions called doses 600 mg per day is 100 mg per dose because you had six doses per day just follow what they tell you to take :)
better than my teacher could ever thank you saranghae!!!
Wow! That was figuered out the LONG way!🤣🤣🤣
he made this so easy
Thank you this helped me so much!
Happy to help!
Yes but this didn't explain how to calculate with creams, gels, or liquids.

Please can you give a calculation on defined daily dose
the daily dose is just the amount times the frequency
so i have a pill that is 250mg
the order is TID or thrice daily, (three times per day)
250 x 3 = 750 per day total
pop in the mg units 750mg per day
or you can say 750mg for the day divided three times in one day
750 / 3 = 250mg per dose
Hi can you explain blisterpacks and additional dose forms?
Is this part of a homework problem? If so, could I read the entire question for context?
If given 90 tablets on January 17 and prescribed 3a day, what amount should be left today, Monday January 29th???

do a video on how to calculate day supply if the quantity isnt given
Sure. What variables are given instead? If you have the actual question, post it as a reply. I'll gladly make a video for you :)

30x5=150
Can you help me figure out how to calculate weekly not daily
use the daily number times seven :)
When doin this equation do you need to add in or multiply the refills?
Could you specify the timing for when this happens in the video?
It doesn’t specify but When calculating the day supply do you need to include the refills in a prescription?
@@liliaguzman5459 Since it's not included in the formula, you do not
Thank you for your help!
I have a question.
My question on my paper says
"If 10 units are injected twice daily, how many days supply in 12 ml?"
Which formula would I need to use and how would I know to use that particular formula?
Days Supply = Quantity Dispensed / Daily Dose
OR
Quantity Dispensed = Daily Dose × Days Supply
My answer choices are
A. 6
B. 60
C. 120
D. 240

if your prescription is every four hours, thats six times per day
your daily amount is spread over six equal portions called doses
600 mg per day is 100 mg per dose because you had six doses per day
just follow what they tell you to take :)
45 pills taken every 4 hours equals how many day
6 pills per day is the rate...
45/x = 6/1
Solve for 'x'
If my prescription says 4 a day starting on jan26 th when should I run out
When should I run out taking 4 a day since jan26 th of 2023
total number of pills divided by four
four pills per day
if you have 400 pills you have 100 days
