Answer: 9,000 miligrams
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial dose of Valtrex ordered to a patient= 2 gm
After that the dose of Valtrex per day= 1 gm
The total amount of Valtrex in eight days= Initial dose+7 times dose per day
⇒The total amount of Valtrex in eight days[tex]=2\ gm+7\times1\ gm[/tex]
⇒The total amount of Valtrex in eight days[tex]=2\ gm+7\ gm[/tex]
⇒The total amount of Valtrex in eight days[tex]=9\ gm[/tex]
We know that [tex]1\ gm=1000\ miligrams[/tex]
Thus, [tex]9\ gm= 9\times1000=9,000\ milligrams[/tex]
Hence, the patient take 9,000 milligrams of Valtrex over the eight day period.
