You will find some variance in concentration based on the specific medication. Let’s explore concentrations first: This label has 100 capsules total in the bottle. Each one of those has 50mg of Surfak. 1 capsule = 50mg. That is what you use in your calculations. This label shows a suspension medication with 160 mg of Acetaminophen in every 5mL. You don’t need to read further for concentration, you use that. Here we only see 2 Grams of Fortaz. We don’t know how much fluid volume that 2 grams is diluted into therefore we must look further into the fine print: The small font on the right states to add 10mL of sterile water to the vial. If you look further, there are no other concentration notes. You must calculate that yourself. There are 2 grams in 10mL. To find the concentration take 2000mg/10mL = 200mg/mL. Use that as your concentration for your calculations. Or you may choose to use 2 grams in 10mL. It is your choice. It’s all about ratios and proportions and keeping them equal. Reconstitution MAPE 2 Here we only see 500mg of Ancef. We don’t know how much fluid volume it is diluted into therefore we must look further into the fine print: The small font on the right states to add 2mL of volume to the vial for IM administration. It then states that each mL will equal 225mg of medication. Use that as your concentration for your calculations. Here we have 1 gram of Cefadyl. It is not readily apparent what the concentration is though, we have to read further. You will see both IV and IM used for this vial. If the order is IM, you will add 2mL of fluid. If you continue to read, the manufacturer states that after dilution you will have a concentration of 500 mg / 1.2mL. This is what you use for your calculations. You have another concentration if you are administering the medication IV. For that you will add 10 mL of sterile water with a concentration of 100mg / 1 mL Reconstitution MAPE 2 This label shows a dual medication. It is called “Bactrim” but it contains both trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole in a ratio of 40mg/200mg in 5mL. The doctor’s order can be written in a couple different ways. It can be written as a ratio/proportion like “Give Bactrim 80/400mg p.o...”. It can also be written for the first medication listed on the bottle which would look like this: “Give Bactrim 40 mg p.o…”. 1.
