Answer :
The 8 fl ounce bottle of gorillacillin, with dosing of one teaspoonful TID, will last for 16 days.
To determine how many days a bottle containing gorillacillin will last, we need to calculate the total dosage per day and then see how many days that dosage can be maintained with the given amount of medication.
Step-by-step Calculation:
- First, note that the bottle contains 24 grams of gorillacillin in 8 fluid ounces.
- The dosing instruction is one teaspoonful TID (three times a day). Since there are 6 teaspoons in 1 fluid ounce, 1 teaspoon equals 1/6 fl oz.
- Thus, each dose is 1/6 fl oz and three doses a day is (1/6) * 3 = 1/2 fl oz per day.
- If the bottle has 8 fl oz total, and 1/2 fl oz is used per day, then the bottle will last 8 / (1/2) = 16 days.
Therefore, the bottle will last for 16 days.
