| When making an RX for an animal, what is the FIRST thing to write on the sig? | "Give" .... 0.5 mg/kg .... You can't say take because the pet can't take the med... you have to give it to them. :) |
| You must calculate the dose because it is written in mg/kg - the weight will be given. Once this is calculated, where do you put that number? | IN THE SIG! Ex) Give 0.5 mg/kg body weight (2.4 mL) twice a day for intestinal parasites. |
| How much overage? | NO OVERAGE FOR THIS SUSPENSION... you are QS-ing |
| What is the first thing you need to do in the procedure? | Calibrate bottle to the QS mark |
| Then what? | Place metonidazole powder, methyl paraben powder, and xanthan gum powder (so all the powders) into the glass m&p and LEVIGATE WITH PROPYLENE GLYCOL |
| What do you do after you add the powder and levigate? | Add the liquids that you are NOT QS-ing with (PP solution and simple syrup) |
| Propyl paraben was given to us in a stock solution because it was below SAW. What would you use to make an aliquot for PP if the stock solution was not given? | WATER (because that is what we are QS-ing with) |
| What would your next step be ? | Transfer the mix to the calibrated bottle quantitatively. Then wash glass m&p with the water and transfer to calibrated bottle... continue until you reach the calibration mark. |
