A pharmacy technician receives a prescription for 125mcg of a medication. The pharmacy has 0.25mg scored tablets on hand. The technician calculates that the patient should take two tablets per dose. The label indicates that 0.25mg is equivalent to 250mcg.Is the pharmacy technician performing the calculation correctly? If not, how many tables should the patient take?​

Answer:

No, the pharmacy technician did not perform the calculation correctly.

Explanation:

To convert Milligrams (mg) to Micrograms (mcg), you just need to know that 1mg is equal to 1000mcg. With that knowledge, you can solve any other similar conversion problem by multiplying the number of Milligrams (mg) by 1000. For example, 5mg multiplied by 1000 is equal to 5000mcg.

1 t…0.25 mg…250 mcg  

1/2 t…0.125 mg….125 mcg
