How To Calculate Days Supply For Insulin
HOW TO CALCULATE Solar day SUPPLY
INSULIN: 1 ML = 100 UNITS
EX) HUMULIN N U-100
SIG: 35 U SQ DAILY
QUANITY: 10 ML (1000 U)
thou / 35= 28 DAYS
EAR / EYE: 20 DROPS = i ML
EX) SIG: five GTTS Advertising QID X 7D
QUANITY: x ML
ten ML (STOCK BOTTLE) X 20 (twenty/ML)
= 200 / 20 DROPS (SIG) = ten DAYS
INHALERS: VARY ON ACTUATIONS NUMBERS
EX) ATROVENT (HAS 200 ACTUATIONS)
SIG: INHALE 2X Q12H PO
200 / four (SIG) = 50 DAYS
LIQUID: VARIES
EX) SIG: i TSP QID PRN FOR COUGH & Common cold
QUANITY: 4 OZ (120 ML)
5 Ten 4 = twenty (SIG) THEN 120 ML / 20 ML = 6 DAYS
*TO FIND OUT WHAT OZ Bottle TO USE JUST DIVIDE THE QUANITY TO 30 ( 120 ML / 30 = four OZ BOTTLE )*
OINTMENT / Cream: VARIES
EX) SIG: NYSTATIN Pare OINTMENT (100,000U PER GRAM)
APPLY TO DIAPER AREA QID
*DAY SUPPLY VARIES DEPENDING HOW MANY TIMES THEY WILL Apply ON SKIN AND BY LOOKING HOW BIG IS THE TUBE OF OINTMENT
*BASICALLY THE DAY SUPPLY WOULD BE A QUESS And then THE NYSTATIN OINTMENT WILL Last 30 DAYS Co-ordinate TO THE INFO PROVIDED
*Most OINTMENTS AND CREAMS USUALLY LAST 30 DAYS
TABLETS / CAPSULES: VARIES
EX) SIG: two TABS PO QAM, two TABS PO QHS
QUANITY: 60 TABLETS
So PATIENT WOULD Take 4 TABLETS BY MOUTH EACH Twenty-four hour period IN TOTAL
sixty TABS / 4 TABS = fifteen DAYS
PATCH: VARIES
EX) SIG: Utilise Every bit DIRECTED
QUANTITY: ii BOXES (ORTHO EVRA PATCH)
THERE ARE 3 SEALED PATCHES IN A BOX, THE DOCTOR WANTS A QUANTITY OF ii BOXES FOR THE PATIENT.
** So WE KNOW THAT There ARE three PATCHES IN one BOX SO THERFORE THE PATIENT Will Accept half dozen PATCHES IN TOTAL SINCE THE DOCTOR REQUESTED 2 BOXES FOR HER.
Evidently THE Day SUPPLY WOULD Exist 6 WEEKS SINCE THE PATIENT IS APPLYING ONE PATCH STARTING SUNDAY OF EACH WEEK EXCEPT Calendar week 4 (FOR THE FIRST BOX). THE PATIENT REPEATS THE PROCESS AGAIN FOR (THE 2d BOX).
NEBULIZER SUSPENSIONS: VARIES
EX) SIG: PULMICORT RESPULES 0.25 MG / 2ML
i BREATHING TREATMENT BID QAM & QPM West/ Beak
QUANTITY: x AMPULES
EACH SEALED CARTON CONTAINS xxx AMPULES WITH EACH AMPULE CONTAINING 2ML. EACH SEALED ALUMINUM ENVELOPE CONTAINS 5 AMPULES.
PATIENT IS TO Take ane Breathing Handling 2X A Day EVERY Morning AND AFTERNOON WITH NEBULIZER. IT Will EQUAL TO 2 Animate TREATMENTS EACH Solar day.
1 AMPULE HAS 2ML THEREFORE ii AMPULES HAS 4ML
30 AMPULES (CARTON) / 2 AMPULES = 15 DAYS
EXTRA: PULMICORT RESPULES ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR CHILDREN AGES Betwixt 12 MONTHS TO 8 YEARS Former TO HELP THEM CONTROL ASTHMA SYMPTOMS AND Preclude ASTHMA ATTACKS. THIS IS NOT A QUICK RELIEF MEDICATION.
ENEMAS (RECTAL SUSPENSIONS): VARIES
EX) MESALAMINE (5-AMINOSALICYLIC Acid) ENEMA RECTAL 4G/60ML
SIG: INSERT i ENEMA PR QPM
QUANTITY: 420 ML
EACH ENEMA Canteen HAS 60 ML. THE DOCTOR IS Asking FOR A QUANTITY OF 420 ML, And then LETS Observe OUT HOW MANY ENEMA BOTTLES WE Demand TO Manipulate.
IF 1 Bottle = 60 ML
So 10 BOTTLE = 420ML ------< one X 420 / threescore = 7 BOTTLES TO DISPENSE
Twenty-four hours SUPPLY WOULD BE 7 DAYS SINCE DOCTOR IS Request TO INSERT one ENEMA PER RECTUM EVERY AFTERNOON.
EXTRA: ENEMAS ARE FLUIDS THAT ARE INSERT IN THE RECTUM/COLON USED TO TREAT CONSTIPATION, SO EMEMAS Piece of work Equally A LAXATIVE. ENEMAS CONTAIN Water & SODIUM PHOSPHATE IN Big DOSES TO EVACUATE/CLEANSE THE BOWELS.
MILLIGRAM DRUGS SUBSTITUTED IN MILLILITERS: VARIES
EX) SIG: AMPICILLIN 375 MG
i TAB Q12H
QUANTITY: 30
LETS SAY FOR Instance THAT THE PHARMACY DOES NOT Take AMPICILLIN IN TABLETS Only IN LIQUID (AMPICILLIN 125MG/5ML). IF IT IS OKAY WITH Doc TO SUBSTITUTE THE PATIENT MEDICATION IN LIQUID THEN HERE IS HOW We SOLVE THIS.
:FIRST LETS SEE HOW MANY MG DOES A QUANTITY OF 30 TABLETS OF AMPICILLIN HAVE:
IF one TAB = 375 MG
And then 30 TAB = X ----< 30 X 375 / 1 = 11250 MG
:LETS FIND OUT HOW MANY ML PER DOSE THE PATIENT NEEDS :
IF 125 MG = five ML
Then 375 MG = X ---< 375 X 5 / 125 = fifteen ML TO GIVE PATIENT
:Now LETS Detect OUT THE FULL LIQUID QUANTITY TO DISPENSE:
IF 125 MG = 5 ML
And then 11250 MG = 10 ---< 11250 Ten 5 / 125 = 450 ML IN Total
Q12H / EVERY 12 HOURS> Ways TO Have MED ( 24 / 12 = 2X A DAY)
And then THE PATIENT Will TAKE 15 ML OF AMPICILLIN TWICE A Twenty-four hour period, THE DAY SUPPLY WOULD BE 450 ML / 15 ML = 30 DAYS
