Question
If $50 \mathrm{~mL}$ of a Choledyl ${ }^{\circledR}$ elixir containing $100 \mathrm{mg} / 5 \mathrm{~mL}$ active ingredient (oxtriphylline) is diluted to $250 \mathrm{~mL}$, what will be the final strength of oxtriphylline?
Step 1
Given that the elixir contains $100 \mathrm{mg} / 5 \mathrm{~mL}$ of active ingredient, we can calculate the total amount in $50 \mathrm{~mL}$: $100 \mathrm{mg} / 5 \mathrm{~mL} \times 50 \mathrm{~mL} = 1000 \mathrm{mg}$ Show more…

If Benadryl Elixir containing 25 mg diphenhydramine hydrochloride per 10 mL is evaporated to 70% of its volume, what is the strength (in %) of diphenhydramine hydrochloride in the remaining solution? Answer = % w/v If 50 mL of a Choledyl Elixir containing 100 mg/5 mL active ingredient (oxtriphylline) is diluted to 250 mL, what will be the final strength of oxtriphylline? Answer % w/v A physician order calls for a theophylline oral suspension to contain 100 mg of theophylline in 5 mL of the aqueous vehicle.

A standard dose of an over-the-counter cough suppressant for adults is $20.0 \mathrm{mL}$ A portion this size contains 35 mg of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). A pediatrician prescribes the drug for a 6 -year-old child, but the child may take only $10.0 \mathrm{mL}$ at a time and receive a maximum of 4.00 mg of the API. What is the concentration in $\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{mL}$ of the adult-strength medication, and how many milliliters of it should be diluted to make $100.0 \mathrm{mL}$ of child-strength cough syrup?
