what is the proper dosage?

Question

..0.2 mg of medication per kg weight.weight 55 lbs,what is the correct dosage

Answer 1

There are 2.205 lbs per kg, so to get the dosage per lb, you need to divide the dosage per kg by 2.205.

0.2mg/kg = 0.091 mg/lb

The dose for a 55 lb person would then be:

0.091 mg/lb * 55 lb = 4.99 mg

Answer 2

5 mg

Answer 3

55lbs = 25kg * .2 = 5mg
