A certain drug "X" contain 100mg/5ml of drug cefexime. If the patient takes one teaspoonful of the suspension three time daily for 5 day. How many grams of the drug does the patient consume?
First, we need to find out the total amount of drug consumed per day by the patient.
One teaspoonful is equal to 5 ml. So, for one dose of drug X, the patient consumes 5 ml, which contains 100 mg of cefexime.
To find out how much the patient consumes in one day, we need to calculate 100 mg * 3 doses = 300 mg.
Now, we need to find out the total amount consumed in 5 days.
300 mg * 5 days = 1500 mg.
To convert this to grams, we divide by 1000.
1500 mg / 1000 = 1.5 grams.
Therefore, the patient consumes 1.5 grams of the drug over the 5-day period.
