<PRE><B>Question 1137747</B>
the patient weighs 35 kilograms.


the dosage is 45 milligrams per kilogram per day.


since the patient is 35 kilograms, then the dosage needs to be 45 * 35 = 1575 milligrams per day.


if the drug is available in 200 milligram tablets, then the patient requires 1575 / 200 = 7.875 tablets per day.


if the drug is available in 5 milliliter suspensions, then the patient requires 1575 / 100 = 15.75 suspensions per day.


your questions is how many pills should the patient take every 4 hours.


since there are 24 hours in a day, then 24 / 4 = 6.


7.875 tablets per day / 6 = 1.3125 tablets every 4 hours.


15.75 suspensions per day / 6 = 2.625 suspensions every 4 hours.
