What will be the concentration of the 1g reconstituted intramuscular preparation and the 1g intravenous infusion preparation?

 

Drug reconstitution is a process that involves adding a diligent to a dry agent to make a drug to be in liquid form. The process uses strict recipes and indications that guide how certain drug powder will be reconstituted to a specific concentration.

Step-by-step explanation

Intramuscular and intravenous drugs need to be reconstituted since they can not be administered in solid form. The concentration of intramuscular preparation will be obtained by adding 1gram to 5mls of diluent which will yield 47.5 mg/mg. To prepare an intravascular preparation of 1 gram, you may add the 1 gram to 10 mls of diluent to yield 95mg/ml that will be used in the injection ( Uhland et al., 1996).
