• When we are calculating drug dosages of tablets and liquids we always have 2 pieces of information.
• 1) What the label reads
• 2) What has the doctor ordered

• The doctor ordered Benadryl 75 mg. The drug label reads Benadryl 0.025 grams. How many tablets are needed?
**The first thing we have to do is to look at what information we have.
1)What the label reads – 0.025g for 1 tablet
2)What the doctor ordered – 75mg
![Page 30: Math for Medications Some terms youll see: Desired Dose Available Dose Ratio & Proportion Cross Product.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55144d415503462d4e8b4f35/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Math for MedicationsThe “Math Chart”
***Before me make our chart we have to make sure both units are the same.
• In this question, we have 0.025 g & 75 mg
• Lets change 0.025g to mg by multiplying by 1000
• Now both units are the same 25mg and 75mg and we can make our chart
![Page 31: Math for Medications Some terms youll see: Desired Dose Available Dose Ratio & Proportion Cross Product.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55144d415503462d4e8b4f35/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Rules to Remember
• Example: 0.66mg = 0.7 mg
1.Put 0 to the left of the decimal if there is no whole number.
2.Adults: round of drug doses to the nearest 1/10 or 0.1.
3.Pediatrics: Round off drug doses to the nearest 1/100 or 0.01
![Page 36: Math for Medications Some terms youll see: Desired Dose Available Dose Ratio & Proportion Cross Product.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/55144d415503462d4e8b4f35/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Rules to Remember
• Do not round off until your final answer:
For example: 100 mg x 15 mL
80 mg
10=1.25 x 15 mL = 18.75 mL
8
Not 1.3 x 15 mL which would =19.5mL
