Three bottles of a 60 ml liquid medicine are to be taken every 6 hours for 4 days. How many tsp should be taken by the patient for each dose?

Answer 1

Hi again!

Same disclosure--not an expert in pharmacology, but I can try my best to help with the math aspect:

Given 3 bottles of 60 ml liquid medicine, this means you have 3 * 60ml = 180ml total of liquid medicine.

This medication is taken across 4 days, so 180ml/4 days=45 ml/day. There are 24 hrs in a day, and the medication is taken every 6 hrs, so 24hrs in a day/6 hrs between administrations=4 times per day.

Since you have 45ml allocated per day and the medication is taken 4 times per day, each time the medication is taken, 45ml/4=11.25ml per administration.

Finally, let's convert 11.25 ml to tsp.

1 tsp is 4.92892 ml, so to convert 11.25 ml by 4.92892:

11.25 ml * 1 tsp/4.92892 ml = 2.2824473 tsp
