A prefilled syringe contains 55 mg of drug in 2 mL of solution. How many mcg (round to a whole number) of drug would be administered by the injection of 1.4 mL of the solution?
ANSWER.
Calculation of amount(mcg) of drug administered by 1.4 ml of solution.
* Amount of drug in 2ml of solution = 55 mg
Convert mg to mcg for calculation
1mg = 1000mcg.
So
Amount of drug in 2ml solution = 55 * 1000
= 55000 mcg.
Amount of drug in 1.4 ml solution (X)
2ml = 55000 mcg.
1.4 ml = X
2X = 55000 * 1.4
2X = 77000
X = 38500 mcg.
