Question

The regimen for subcutaneous heparin sodium injection consists of a minimum initial dose of 10,000 units, followed by a minimum dose of 15,000 units every 12 hours. Considering that there are 1000 units per milliliter and 10 milliliters per vial of heparin sodium solution, how many vials are needed for one 24-hour administration?

Tenecteplase is a modified enzyme that converts plasminogen to plasmin, which aids in the breakdown of blood clots. The recommended total dose of tenecteplase for a 165-pound patient is 40 mg, which is administered by IV bolus over a 5-second interval. The concentration of the tenecteplase solution is 5 mg/ml. How many milliliters are present in a single dose of the solution?

Answer 1

Heparin sodium injection initial dose=10000 unit

For every 12 hours

One milliliter= 1000unit

Per vial = 10 milliliter

Per vial= 10000 unit

2 vial are needed for 24 hours of administration.

2. 1mg= 0.001ml

5mg= 0.005 ml

Single dose of solution contain 0.005 ml

TOTAL dose of solution contain 0.04 ml
