ANSWER.
* Calculation of amount(ml) of drug required.
Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.
Here
Desired dose (D) = 0.24 mg.
Convert mg to mcg for calculation
1mg = 1000 mcg.
So
Desired dose (D) = 0.24 * 1000
= 240 mcg.
Dose in hand (H) = 50 mcg.
Quantity (Q) = 1 ml.
As per above formula
Amount(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q
= 240 / 50 * 1
= 4.8 ml.
