Question

The prescription is written for a quantity of 45 tablets for a 30-day supply with instructions to take half a tablet by mouth once daily. The patient now wants a 3 month supply, what would the quantity and day supply now be?

Answer 1

The patient has to take half a tablet per day. For a 30-day period, they need:

30 ÷ 2 = 15 tablets.

For a 3-month supply, they need:

3 x 15 = 45 tablets.

Looks like the patient already has a 3-month supply of 45 tablets.
