To find the dosage rate in mg/h, you need to multiply the infusion rate by the strength of the solution, and then convert the units from mcg to mg. You can use the web search results from my tool to help you with this¹²³.
The formula is:

Dosage rate (mg/h) = Infusion rate (ml/k) × Strength (mcg/ml) × 1mg/1000 mcg

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Dosage rate (mg/b) = 125 ml/h × 10 mcg/ml × 1mg/1000 mcg

#m$
This is the dosage rate in mg/h for the IV infusion.
