A 22-yeаr-оld mаle pаtient (weighing 72kg) is receiving treatment in hоspital fоr a severe exacerbation of asthma. Aminophylline has been prescribed and the respiratory registrar would now like to begin twice daily theophylline, aiming for a steady state plasma concentration of 10mg/L. The patient has an estimated theophylline clearance of 4L/h. You calculate theophylline steady state plasma concentration using the following formula: Css = (S x F x D) / (Cl x T) Css = steady statement concentration (mg/L) S = salt factor = 1 F = bioavailability = 1 D = dose (mg) Cl = clearance (L/hour) T = dosing interval (hours) The hospital dispensary has Uniphyllin (theophylline) available in 200mg, 300mg and 400mg strengths. How many milligrams of theophylline should be prescribed to this patient every 12 hours?

You prescribe dexamethasone 2mg/5mL suspension and you round the dose to one decimal place to aid administration to the child using a standard oral syringe. How many millilitres of suspension should be supplied to the patient for the full course of treatment?
