Answer :
The quantity is 8 fluid ounces (or 48 teaspoons) and the days supply is 24 days.
Let's break down the prescription:
Medication: MAPA 160mg/5ml suspension
Sig: 1 TEA (teaspoon) po (by mouth) BID (twice a day)
Quantity: #8oz (8 fluid ounces)
Days Supply:
First, we need to find out how many teaspoons are in 8 fluid ounces:
1 fluid ounce = 6 teaspoons (approx.)
8 fluid ounces = 8 x 6
= 48 teaspoons
Since the patient takes 1 teaspoon twice a day:
Daily dose = 2 teaspoons
Total dose = 48 teaspoons
Days supply = Total dose / Daily dose
= 48 teaspoons / 2 teaspoons
= 24 days
