$\mathrm{R}$Ephedrine sulfate $1 \%$Sodium chloride q.s.Isotonic solution $\quad 40 \mathrm{~mL}$Sig. gtt ii each nostril q6h
Step 1
Since the concentration of Ephedrine sulfate is $1\%$, we need to find $1\%$ of $40\, \text{mL}$. $1\% \times 40\, \text{mL} = 0.01 \times 40\, \text{mL} = 0.4\, \text{mL}$ Show more…

What is the percentage concentration of ephedrine $\mathrm{HCl}$ required to make an isotonic solution?
Azelastine hydrochloride is an antihistamine nasal spray. A standard-size container holds one fluid ounce (oz) of the liquid. You a are searching for this medication in a European drugstore and are asked how many millititers (mL) there are in one fluid ounce. Using the following conversion factors, determine the number of millilititers in a volume of one fluid ounce: 1 gallon (gal) $=128$ oz, $3.785 \times 10^{-3}$ cubic meters $\left(\mathrm{m}^{3}\right)=1$ gal, and $1 \mathrm{mL}=10^{-6} \mathrm{m}^{3}$
