Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) oral suspension is available as a 250mg/5mL concentration. The physician orders a dose of 150mg. How many milliliters of suspension will have to be given for each dose?
Do divide the cipro content per milliliter of suspension, which in this case is 250/5 or 50 mg/ml of suspension. So for a 150 mg dose you need three militers of medicine.
