Answer:
50 mg.
Explanation:
From the prescription, 240 ml amount is to be prepared containing 30 ml tussin syrup. As the frequency is 5 mL qid, it means 5mL of syrup is to be administered four times daily i.e. 20 mL daily. To calculate the amount of tussin taken daily,
30 mL tussin = X mL of tussin
240 mL solution 20ml solution
⇒ 2.5 mL of tussin
5 ml tussin contains 100mg guafenesin,
So,
⇒ 2.5 ml of tussin contains 100x2.5/5 = 50 mg guaifenesin
