The patient has taken a total of 6,000 mg of Keflex as ordered by the physician. The patient was prescribed 1 capsule every 6 hours for 6 days. What was the strength of each Keflex capsule?

Calculation: Calculate the total number of capsules taken over the 6-day period. The patient took 1 capsule every 6 hours. Number of capsules per day = 24 hours / 6 hours/dose = 4 capsules/day. Total capsules taken = 4 capsules/day × 6 days = 24 capsules. Total amount of Keflex taken = 6,000 mg. Calculate the strength of each capsule. Strength per capsule = Total amount taken (mg) / Total number of capsules = 6,000 mg / 24 capsules = 250 mg/capsule.
