The physician prescribes Prozac® 60 mg per day, for 30 days. This drug is available in 20 mg tablets. Which of the following is the correct number of tablets to be dispensed?
60
90
120
180
90
Rationale: Since 60 mg was prescribed for each day, but only 20 mg tablets are available, this means the patient needs 3 tablets per day. Multiplying by 30 days, we find that 3 x 30 = 90 tablets.
