A certain drug "X" contain 100mg/5ml of drug cefexime. If the patient takes one teaspoonful of the suspension time daily for 5 day. How many grams of the drug does the patient consume?
One teaspoon is equivalent to 5 ml (milliliters).
The concentration of the drug is 100 mg/5 ml, which means that in 5 ml, there are 100 mg of the drug.
If the patient takes one teaspoonful (5 ml) of the suspension daily, they consume 100 mg of the drug each day.
Therefore, over 5 days, the patient consumes a total of 100 mg/day * 5 days = 500 mg.
To convert from milligrams to grams, divide by 1000: 500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 grams.
Therefore, the patient consumes 0.5 grams of the drug over the course of 5 days.
