A physician prescribed mometasone furoate monohydrate (NASONEX) nasal spray for a patient, with directions to
administer two sprays into each nostril once daily. If each spray contains 50 μg of drug and the container can deliver a
total of 120 sprays, how many micrograms of drug would the patient receive daily, and how many days of use will the
prescription last the patient?

Respuesta :

Answer: The patient receives [tex]200\ \mu g[/tex] daily.

The  prescription will last 30 days .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Prescription= Two sprays into each nostril once daily.

That means total sprays for both nostrils = [tex]2\times2=4[/tex] [∵ 1 nostrils in each nose.]

If each spray contains [tex]50 \mu g[/tex] of drug, then the amount of drug received by patient daily :-

[tex]4\times50=200\ \mu g[/tex]

Thus , the patient receives [tex]200\ \mu g[/tex] daily.

Also, the container can deliver a  total of 120 sprays.

Then, the number of days of use will the  prescription last the patient will be:_

[tex]\dfrac{120}{4}=30[/tex]

Hence,  the  prescription will last 30 days of use .
