300mg of reglan syrup is ordered for a patient. replant is 125 mg/5ml. how many milliliters of reglan is needed to send home with the client?

There are some ways to calculate for the milliliters that the patient need at home. One way to solve this is to determine the dose ordered which is 300mg of Reglan syrup, then the dose available is 125mg and the volume available that is 5ml.  

Formula: dose ordered   x  volume available

              dose available

ML needed = 300mg  x  5ml

                       125mg

ML needed = 1500mg/ml

                       125mg

ML needed = 12mL

Therefore, the patient need 12 mililiters of Reglan syrup at home.

Reglan (metoclopramide) is a neuroleptic antiemetic dopamine antagonist, commonly used benzamide family.

We are looking for the volume of Reglan needed to be able to administer 300mg of the drug.

we need to a "cross multiplication"

125 mg of the drug ==> 5 ml

300mg of the drug ==> 300 * 5/125 = 12 milliliters.

The volume of Reglan needed is 12ml.
