You have an unusual order for intravitreal ceftazidime 2.25mg/0.1 ml. Your pharmacy has ceftazidine already in solution at 100mg/ml. Using 1 ml of that ceftazidine, how many milliliters of sodium chloride 0.9% would you have to add to prepare the proper concertation?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Dilution equation is:
. . . (1)
Here, c1 is the initial concentration = 100 mg/mL.
c2 is the final concentration = 2.25 mg/0.1 mL.
= 22.5 mg/mL
v1 is the initial volume which we are diluting = 1 mL
v2 is the final volume that we have to find.
