a pharmacy technician receives a prescription for amoxicillin (amoxil) 500 mg #30 capsules, one capsule taken every 8 hr. which of the following number of total days will this prescription supply?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate daily dosage number
Since one capsule is taken every 8 hours and there are 24 hours in a day, the number of capsules taken per day is $\frac{24}{8}=3$.
Step2: Calculate total days
There are 30 capsules in total. Divide the total number of capsules by the number of capsules taken per day. So the number of days is $\frac{30}{3}=10$.
Answer:
10 days
