Case in Point 8.3
Daily dose: 15 mg/kg × 10 kg = 150 mg
Single dose: 150 mg ÷ 3 = 50 mg
Case in Point 8.4
a. 28 inches × 2.54 cm/1 inch = 71.12 cm
22 lb × 1 kg/2.2 lb = 10 kg
230 mg (lopinavir) × 0.44 m2 = 101.2 mg
57.5 mg (ritonavir) × 0.44 m2 = 25.3 mg
Thus, 101.2 mg (lopinavir) and 25.3 mg (ritonavir)
b. 101.2 mg × 1 mL/80 mg = 1.27 mL
25.3 mg × 1 mL/20 mg = 1.27 mL
Thus, 1.27 mL or 1.3 mL oral solution (administered by
calibrated oral syringe).
c. KALETRA, 12/3 mg/kg
12 mg (lopinavir)/kg × 10 kg = 120 mg (lopinavir, single dose)
3 mg (ritonavir)/kg × 10 kg = 30 mg (ritonavir, single dose)
Thus, 120 mg × 2 (doses/day) = 240 mg (lopinavir), and 30 mg ×
2 (doses/day) = 60 mg (ritonavir).
d. 240 mg (lopinavir) × 1 mL/80 mg = 3 mL
60 mg (ritonavir) × 1 mL/20 mg = 3 mL
Thus, 3 mL oral solution, daily dose (administered by calibrated
oral syringe).

It should be noted that since the ratio of lopinavir to ritonavir in the
oral solution is fixed—that is, 80 mg:20 mg (or 4 mg:1 mg)—the
calculation of one component will automatically yield the quantity of the
second component.
Case in Point 8.5
To calculate the dose for the patient, the pharmacist must first
determine the patient’s body surface area. The pharmacist elects to use
the following equation:
To use this equation, the patient’s weight and height are converted to
metric units:
Height: 5 feet = 60 inches × 2.54 cm/inch = 152.4 cm
Weight: 117 lb ÷ 2.2 lb/kg = 53.18 kg
Solving the equation:
The daily dose is calculated as 150 mg/m2 × 1.50 m2 = 225 mg.
To obtain 225 mg, the patient may take two 100-mg capsules, one
20-mg capsule, and one 5-mg capsule daily.

Calculations Involving Units of
Activity and Other Measures of
Potency
OBJECTIVE
Upon successful completion of this chapter, the student will be able
to:
Perform calculations involving units of activity and other measures
of potency.
Introduction
The potencies of some antibiotics, endocrine products, vitamins, products
derived through biotechnology, and biologics (e.g., vaccines) are based
on their activity and are expressed in terms of units of activity, in
micrograms per milligram, or in other standardized terms of
measurement. These measures of potency meet standards approved by the
Food and Drug Administration as set forth in the United States
Pharmacopeia (USP).1 In addition, the World Health Organization
(WHO) through the International Pharmacopeia (IP) provides
internationally agreed-upon standards for biological preparations, which
define potency or activity, as expressed in international units (I.U. or
IU).
2
The activity of a drug or biologic agent is determined by comparison
against a corresponding reference standard—an authenticated specimen
used in compendial tests and assays. The required potencies and
respective weight equivalents for some drugs are given in Table 9.1. A
USP Unit for one drug has no relation to a USP Unit for another drug.
TABLE 9.1 EXAMPLES OF DRUG POTENCY
EQUIVALENTS

a
Data taken or derived from various literature sources, including the United States Pharmacopeia
and the International Pharmacopeia.
Of the drugs for which potency is expressed in units, insulin is perhaps
the most common. Commercially available types of insulin vary
according to time for onset of action, peak action, and duration of action;
however, all are standardized to contain either 100 or 500 insulin units
per milliliter of solution or suspension. These products are labeled as “U100” (Fig. 9.1) or “U-500.” Insulin is dosed by the administration of a
specific number of units. Specially calibrated insulin syringes (Fig. 9.2)
or prefilled, dial-a-dose insulin pens (KwikPen [Lilly] and FlexPen
[Novo Nordisk]; Fig. 9.3) are employed.

CALCULATIONS CAPSULE
Units of Activity
The potency of many pharmaceutical products derived from biological
sources is based on units of activity. Units of activity are determined
against specific biologic standards and vary between products.
Generally, there is an established relationship between a product’s units
of activity and a measurable quantity (e.g., units per milligram; units
per milliliter). This relationship may be used in a ratio and proportion
to determine either the number of units of activity or the weight or
volume containing a specified number of units:
As noted previously in this text, medication errors can occur when the
term units is abbreviated with a “U.” For example, “100U” could be
mistaken for “1000” units. Thus, it is recommended that the term units be
spelled out as a matter of practice.
Another effort to reduce medication errors has been implemented by
clarifying the contents of certain packages of multidose injections. Figure
9.4 shows the dual statement of strength in the labeling of a Heparin
Sodium Injection in which the drug concentration for the entire contents
(30,000 USP Units/30 mL) and the concentration per milliliter (1,000
USP Units/mL) are displayed.
