    Dosage calculation proctored exam (hellen fluid college)

    Ordered: Clozaril 75 mg bid for 4 days On hand: See label What is the amount to dispense?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Determine the number of tablets per dose. Ordered dose is 75 mg Available tablet strength is 25 mg. Tablets per dose = 75 mg / 25 mg = 3 tablets. Calculate the total number of tablets per day. The frequency is "bid," which means twice a day. Tablets per day = 3 tablets/dose × 2 doses/day = 6 tablets per day. Calculate the total number of tablets needed for the 4-day supply. Total tablets = 6 tablets/day × 4 days = 24 tablets.
