Final answer:
The daily dosage of amoxicillin, as prescribed, is 1500 mg or 1.5 grams, taken as 500 mg (2 teaspoons) three times a day.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about the daily dosage of amoxicillin from a prescription. Amoxicillin has been prescribed at a concentration of 250mg/5ml, and the sig indicates a dosage of 2 teaspoons (tsp) taken three times a day (tid). Since 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 ml, each dose would be 2 teaspoons, which is 10 ml. Therefore, the amount of drug taken per dose is (10 ml / 5 ml) × 250 mg which equals 500 mg. The patient takes this dose three times a day, so the total daily dosage is 500 mg × 3, equalling to 1500 mg or 1.5 grams of amoxicillin per day.
