The PCP ordered Methylprednisolone 100 mg IV q8h for 2 doses.
The label reads...
How much would you give to the pt.? How many vials of medication will you need for one dose? What size syringe will you use?
⬇
100mg/40mg × 1ml = 2.5 mL (You will need 3 vials of medication to draw up 2.5mL of medication) You will use a 2.5 or 3 mL hypodermic
The amt. ordered is more than the strength available. You will need more than 1 mL to administer the required dosage. You will need 3 vials of medication to obtain the indicated dose. The total volume per vial is 1.2 mL which contains 40 mg.
