Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calculate the number of tablets administered per day by dividing the total number of hours per day by the interval between subsequent administrations of the drug (24 / 12 = 2 tablets/day). Calculate the total number of tablets by multiplying the number of tablets per day by the total number of days (2 F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 4 = 8 tablets). Determine the total dosage by multiplying the number of tablets by the dosage per tablet (8 tablets F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 10 mg/tablet = 80 mg).
