Example: A patient with a BSA of 2.1 m2 is to receive 7.5 mg/ m2/week of methotrexate. The MTX is available as 25mg/ml. How many ml are needed for the weekly dose? (Problem #45, page 274) ... Convert 2,800 mcg to g (since the drug strength is in grams) 2,800 mcg = 2.8 mg = 0.0028 g . Step 3: Calculate the rate in grams per hour (1 hr = 60 min) ................
