Question

The concentration of an Furosemide is 40 mg/5 ml. What volume would

be required for an 8 mg dose?

Answer 1

Given :

The concentration of an Furosemide is 40 mg/5 ml.

To Find :

What volume would be required for an 8 mg dose ?

Solution :

Let, volume require for an 8 mg dose is V ml.

It is given that volume of 40 mg Furosemide is 5 ml.

So, volume per gram of Furosemide is :

`=(5\ ml)/(40 \ mg )\\\\=0.125 \ ml/mg`

So, volume required for 8 mg dose is :

`V = 0.125 \ ml/mg * 8 \ mg\\\\V = 1\ ml`

Therefore, volume required for an 8 mg dose is 1 ml.
