Is the Allopurinol 0.45 grams or milligrams? I need more info to solve.
You must be taking Drug Calculations.
If it is 0.45 grams, then the dose would be 1.5 tablets.
0.45g=450mg
450mg divided by 300mg per tablet = 1.5 tablets

Assuming that he is taking .45 grams bid. Then all you have to do is figure out how many milligrams in .45 gram.
Not a question of genius just using what you have.
cheers.

You must be reading the question wrong. This cannot be calculated in tablet form.
