What is the daily dosage of Erythromycin prescribed for a patient over ten days if each dose is 150 mg?

To determine the daily dosage of Erythromycin prescribed for a patient over ten days when each dose is 150 mg, you start by calculating the total daily dosage. Since the problem does not state the number of doses taken each day, we can assume the patient is taking a single 150 mg dose each day.

In this case, if the patient takes 150 mg each day, over ten days the total dosage can be calculated as follows:

Total dosage over ten days = Daily dosage x Number of days

Total dosage = 150 mg/day x 10 days = 1500 mg

However, since the question specifically asks for the total dosage over ten days, one should consider that often prescriptions are written for more than one dose of medication per day, which may lead to the higher amounts in the choices provided.

For the situation where the intent might be a more frequent administration, if we assume the patient takes 2 doses per day (which is common for some antibiotic regimens), the calculation would be:

Total dosage = 150 mg x 2 doses/day x 10 days = 3000 mg.

Thus, the answer of 3000 mg reflects the scenario where two doses of 150 mg are taken each day over a
