Answer :
The patient will need 240 tablets of captopril for a 60-day supply.
- This is based on the prescription of 25 mg taken four times daily, totaling 100 mg per day. Multiply that by 60 days to get 6000 mg, then divide by 25 mg per tablet.
- Captopril 25 mg po QID means the patient needs 25 mg of captopril taken orally four times a day.
- Calculate the total daily dosage: 25 mg/tablet x 4 doses/day = 100 mg/day.
- Determine the total dosage for 60 days: 100 mg/day x 60 days = 6000 mg.
- Find the number of tablets needed: Since each tablet is 25 mg, divide the total dosage by the dosage per tablet: 6000 mg / 25 mg/tablet = 240 tablets.
- Therefore, the patient will need 240 tablets for a 60-day supply.
For a 60-day supply, 240 tablets of captopril 25 mg will be dispensed.
- Dosage: The prescription is for captopril 25 mg, taken orally (po) four times a day (QID).
- Daily dosage: 25 mg × 4 times = 100 mg per day.
- Total dosage for 60 days: 100 mg/day × 60 days = 6000 mg.
- Tablets needed: Each tablet is 25 mg, so 6000 mg ÷ 25 mg/tablet = 240 tablets.
