Question

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:

c1v1=c2v2                                                                      . . . (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.
