A patient has been instructed to take 15ml of alumina and magnesium oral suspension every other hour for four doses daily. How many days will two 12 oz bottles last?

Convert your ounces (oz) to milliliters (ml).

4 * 15ml = 60 ml/day

Divide that into your equivalent in ml of 24 oz.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

To determine how many days two 12 oz bottles of alumina and magnesium oral suspension will last, we need to calculate the daily volume taken by the patient and then divide it by the total volume in the two bottles.

Step 1: Calculate daily volume:
The patient is instructed to take 15ml every other hour for four doses daily.
15ml * 4 doses = 60ml (daily volume)

Step 2: Convert the volume from ml to oz:
1 oz is equal to approximately 29.57 ml.
So, 60 ml is approximately 2.03 oz.

Step 3: Calculate the total volume in the two bottles:
Two bottles, each with a volume of 12 oz, will have a total volume of 24 oz.

Step 4: Determine how many days the two bottles will last:
Divide the total volume in the bottles (24 oz) by the daily volume taken (2.03 oz):
24 oz / 2.03 oz = 11.82 days (approximately)

Therefore, two 12 oz bottles of alumina and magnesium oral suspension will last approximately 11.82 days for the patient following the prescribed dosage.
