How to find the dosage of medicine?

• A dose is a predetermined amount of a medicine, nutrient, or pathogen that is administered as a unit. The greater the quantity delivered, the larger the dose. In medicine, doses are most commonly measured for compounds.

• It is to be noted that there exist four scales of measurement. Non-parametric measurement will include the nominal and ordinal scales of measurement.

Expressions of such a solution's concentration.

% by mass = (mass of solute/mass of solution) multiplied by 100%

(volume of solute/volume of solution) x 100% = % by volume

% by mass/volume = (solute mass / solution volume) x 100%

Here given,

Erythromycin 360 mg

Erythromycin 200 mg/5 mL

By substituting.

200 mg/5mL /  5

= 40 mg/mL

360 mg / 40 mg/mL

= 9 mL
