K-TAB, a slow-release potassium chloride tablet, contains 750 mg of potassium chloride [KCl; MW = 74.5] in a wax/polymer matrix. How many milliequivalents of potassium chloride (round to the nearest whole number) are supplied by a 1 tablet dose given 3 times a day?
*K Tab contains 750 mg of KCl which is equivallent to 10 mEq.
mEq supplied by 1 tablet= 10
Since 3 tablets are supplied in a day
Therefore, mEq supplied by 3 tablets = 3x10
=30
