Flagyl 250mg q8h x7D.

What is the total daily dose

I'm not a pharmacist but if that means take 250 mg every 8 hours for 7 days, the total dose is

250 mg/dose x 3 doses/24 hrs x 24 hours/1 day) x 7 days = ?

For heaven's sake do what Ms Sue suggested.

For me pH means acid or base. Stop wasting teacher time. We are volunteers here and you need someone who does prescriptions, not a physicist or historian.
I have a sneaking suspicion you mean
250 milligrams every 8 hours for 7 days
that would be 250 * 3 = 750 milligrams per day

To determine the total daily dose of Flagyl 250mg q8h x7D, we first need to understand the medication instructions.

Flagyl is a brand name for the generic drug metronidazole, which is commonly prescribed for various infections. In this case, the prescription is "Flagyl 250mg q8h x7D." Let's break it down:

- 250mg: This indicates the strength or dosage of each tablet or capsule of Flagyl. Each tablet contains 250mg of the active ingredient, metronidazole.

- q8h: This instruction stands for "every 8 hours." It means you need to take one dose of Flagyl every 8 hours.

- x7D: This designation signifies the duration or number of days for which you should take the medication. In this case, the prescription is for taking Flagyl for a total of 7 days.

To calculate the total daily dose, we need to determine how many doses are taken in a 24-hour period. Since the prescription states "q8h," we divide 24 hours by 8 to find out how many doses are taken in a day: 24/8 = 3 doses per day.

Next, we multiply the dose per administration (250mg) by the number of doses taken in a day (3 doses per day): 250mg × 3 = 750mg.

Therefore, the total daily dose of Flagyl 250mg q8h x7D would be 750mg per day.
