Translate Tab 2 0 8 Mg
Say the dosage strength is 200 mg and there are 100 tablets in the bottle. If the doctor orders 0.4 g, how many tablets will you give? Before you use the formula above, all units should be the same. Thus, convert 200 mg to g. Convert milligrams to cups, mg to cups. Density, volume, weight units converter, calculator, tool online. Formula and explanation, conversion. Example 2: How many tablets containing 62.5 mcg will be required to give a dose of 0.125 mg? STEP 1: CONVERT TO SAME UNITS. Convert 0.125 mg to mcg. The decimal place is moved 3 places to the right. Mg -kg hg dag g dg cg mg µg. 0.125 mg = (0.125. 1000 mcg) = 125 mcg. STEP 2: CALCULATE.

a Dosing for infections caused by less susceptible organisms should follow the recommendations for severe infections.
b The children’s dosage is intended for individuals whose weight is less than 40 kg. Children weighing 40 kg or more should be dosed according to the adult recommendations.
After reconstitution, the required amount of suspension should be placed directly on the child’s tongue for swallowing. Alternate means of administration are to add the required amount of suspension to formula, milk, fruit juice, water, ginger ale, or cold drinks. These preparations should then be taken immediately. To be certain the child is receiving full dosage, such preparations should be consumed in entirety.
All patients with gonorrhea should be evaluated for syphilis. (See PRECAUTIONS: Laboratory Tests.)
Larger doses may be required for stubborn or severe infections.
General
It should be recognized that in the treatment of chronic urinary tract infections, frequent bacteriological and clinical appraisals are necessary. Smaller doses than those recommended above should not be used. Even higher doses may be needed at times. In stubborn infections, therapy may be required for several weeks. It may be necessary to continue clinical and/or bacteriological follow-up for several months after cessation of therapy. Except for gonorrhea, treatment should be continued for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours beyond the time that the patient becomes asymptomatic or evidence of bacterial eradication has been obtained. It is recommended that there be at least 10 days’ treatment for any infection caused by Streptococcus pyogenes to prevent the occurrence of acute rheumatic fever.

Dosing Recommendations for Adults with Impaired Renal Function
Patients with impaired renal function do not generally require a reduction in dose unless the impairment is severe. Severely impaired patients with a glomerular filtration rate of < 30 mL/min. should not receive the 875-mg tablet. Patients with a glomerular filtration rate of 10 to 30 mL/min. should receive 500 mg or 250 mg every 12 hours, depending on the severity of the infection. Patients with a less than 10 mL/min. glomerular filtration rate should receive 500 mg or 250 mg every 24 hours, depending on severity of the infection.
Hemodialysis patients should receive 500 mg or 250 mg every 24 hours, depending on severity of the infection. They should receive an additional dose both during and at the end of dialysis.
There are currently no dosing recommendations for pediatric patients with impaired renal function.
