Total drug (ampicillin) present: If, in the constituted product, each 5 mL contains 125 mg of ampicillin, the total amount of ampicillin in the 100-mL product is:
3. Using the product in the previous example, if a physician desires an
ampicillin concentration of 100 mg/5 mL (rather than 125 mg/5 mL), how many milliliters of water should be added to the dry powder?
Because it was determined that 2500 mg of ampicillin is in the dry product, the volume of product that can be made with a concentration of 100 mg/5 mL may be calculated by:
Then, because it had been determined that the dry powder occupies 22 mL of volume, it is possible to determine the amount of water to add:
4. The label of a dry powder for oral suspension states that when 111 mL
of water is added to the powder, 150 mL of a suspension containing 250 mg of ampicillin per 5 mL is prepared. How many milliliters of purified water should be used to prepare, in each 5 mL of product, the correct dose of ampicillin for a 60-lb child based on the dose of 8 mg/kg of body weight?
The dose of ampicillin may be determined by:
Then, the amount of ampicillin in the container is determined by:
Thus, the amount of product that can be made from 7500 mg of drug such that each 5 mL contains 218 mg of drug may be found by:
Finally, because the volume of powder occupies 39 mL (150 mL – 111 mL), the amount of water to add is determined by:
5. The label for ERYPED-200 states that when 53 mL of purified water is
added to the powder, 100 mL of a pediatric suspension containing 200 mg of erythromycin ethylsuccinate per teaspoonful results. If a pharmacist mistakenly added 43 mL of water to the suspension, calculate the amount of erythromycin succinate per teaspoonful resulting from the mistake. The amount of erythromycin ethylsuccinate
in the package is determined by:
The amount of volume displaced by the powder can be calculated as:

The volume of the mistakenly reconstituted suspension would be calculated as:
The concentration of erythromycin ethylsuccinate in the mistakenly reconstituted suspension would then be:
CASE IN POINT 17.1
B
A pediatrician telephones a pharmacist asking that the concentration of an antibiotic suspension be changed. The pediatrician wants the child– patient to take 200 mg of amoxicillin per teaspoonful dose. The label for amoxicillin powder for oral suspension indicates that the addition of 68 mL of purified water will result in a final volume of 100 mL with a concentration of 250 mg amoxicillin per 5 mL of suspension.
How many milliliters of water should the pharmacist add to the
amoxicillin powder to produce a concentration of 200 mg/teaspoonful?

Constitution of dry powders for parenteral solution
Some medications intended for injection are provided as dry powder in vials to be constituted with sterile water for injection or other designated solvent or diluent immediately before use. Generally, these medications are small­volume products intended for use by injection or as additives to large­volume parenterals.
In contrast to the dry powders intended for oral use after constitution, injectable products may contain only limited amounts of specified added ingredients to increase the stability and effectiveness of the drug (obviously, no colorants, flavorants, or sweeteners are added). So, in effect, the bulk volume of the dry contents of a vial is largely or entirely the medication.
If the quantity of the dry drug powder is small and does not contribute significantly to the final volume of the constituted solution, the volume of solvent used will approximate the final volume of solution. For example, if 1000 units of a certain antibiotic in dry form is to be dissolved, and if the powder does not account for any significant portion of the final volume, the addition of 5 mL of solvent will produce a solution containing 200 units/mL. However, if the dry powder, because of its bulk, contributes to the final volume of the constituted solution, the increase in volume produced by the drug must be considered, and this factor must then be used in calculating the amount of solvent needed to prepare a solution of a desired concentration. For example, the package directions for making injectable solutions of piperacillin sodium specify that 4 mL of sterile solvent should be added to 2 g of the dry powder to produce 5 mL of a solution that is to contain 400 mg/mL. The drug, in this case, accounts for 1 mL of the final volume.
Example calculations for the constitution of dry powders for parenteral use
1. When a vial containing 3.5 mg of a sterile powder of the monoclonal
antibody bortezomib (VELCADE) is reconstituted with 3.5 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, a drug concentration of 1 mg/mL results. Calculate the volume of injection occupied by the bortezomib powder.
1 mg/mL is equivalent to 3.5 mg/3.5 mL; thus, the volume occupied by bortezomib may be considered negligible.
2. When a vial is reconstituted to a volume of 1.2 mL with sterile water for
injection, the resulting solution contains 20 mg/mL of drug. Calculate the drug content of the vial.
3. Label instructions for the reconstitution of a 500-mg vial of ceftazidime
for intramuscular injection (FORTAZ) call for the addition of 1.5 mL of diluent to prepare 1.8 mL of injection. Calculate (a) the volume occupied by the dry drug; (b) the concentration of ceftazidime in the injection, in mg/mL; and (c) the volume of injection to provide a dose of 250 mg of ceftazidime.
a. 1.8 mL – 1.5 mL = 0.3 mL, volume of ceftazidime b. 500 mg/1.8 mL = 277.8 mg/mL c. 250 mg × 1.8 mL/500 mg = 0.9 mL

4. The package information enclosed with a vial containing 5,000,000 units of penicillin G potassium (buffered) specifies that when 23 mL of a sterile solvent is added to the dry powder, the resulting concentration is 200,000 units/mL. On the basis of this information, how many milliliters of sterile water for injection should be used in preparing the following solution?
The package information states that the constituted solution prepared by
dissolving 5,000,000 units of the dry powder in 23 mL of sterile solvent has a final concentration of 200,000 units/mL. The resulting volume can be calculated as follows:
The dry powder, then, accounts for 25 mL – 23 mL = 2 mL of this volume. STEP 1. The final volume of the prescription is determined as follows:
STEP 2. 10 mL − 2 mL (displaced by dry powder) = 8 mL.
5. Piperacillin sodium is available in 2-gram vials, and the dry powder
accounts for 1 mL of the volume of the constituted solution. Using a 2­gram vial of piperacillin sodium and sodium chloride injection as the solvent, explain how you could fill the following medication order:
STEP 1. Dissolve the 2 g of dry powder in 9 mL of sodium chloride
injection to prepare 10 mL of solution. Each milliliter will contain 200 mg of piperacillin sodium. STEP 2. Use 1.25 mL of the constituted solution and 13.75 mL of sodium chloride injection.
A hospital pharmacist received the following order for a pediatric
patient weighing 32 kg:
Medication Order: Oxacillin sodium, 150 mg/kg/day IV in divided
doses every 6 hours
The following product and procedures were followed: Product: 10-g vial oxacillin sodium Label directions: Reconstitute vial with 93 mL of sterile water for
injection to yield oxacillin sodium, 100 mg/mL.
Pharmacy operations: For the infusion, add the calculated dose to 100
mL of sodium chloride injection. Administer over 30 minutes by IV infusion.
a. Calculate the final volume of solution in the vial when
reconstituted according to the label directions and the volume
displaced by the powder. b. Calculate the single dose for this patient. c. How many milliliters of solution from the reconstituted solution
(vial) should be added to the sodium chloride injection for the
infusion? d. If the pharmacist mistakenly reconstituted the vial with 63 mL of
water, what would be the resulting concentration in mg/mL?
Use of Prefabricated Dosage Forms in Compounding
Pharmacists frequently find that bulk supplies of certain proprietary drug substances are not available for extemporaneous compounding and that prefabricated tablets, capsules, injections, and other dosage forms provide the only available source of the medicinal agents needed.
When using commercially prepared dosage forms as the source of a medicinal agent, the pharmacist selects products that are of the most simple, economic, and convenient form. For example, uncoated tablets or capsules are preferred over coated tablets or sustained-release dosage forms. For both convenience and economy, use of the fewest dosage units is preferred; for example, one 100-mg tablet rather than five 20-mg tablets. An injection often provides a convenient source of medicinal agent when the volume of injection required is small and it is compatible with the physical characteristics of the dosage form being prepared (e.g., an oral liquid).
Occasionally, when of the prescribed strength, small whole tablets or broken scored (grooved) tablets may be placed within capsule shells when capsules are prescribed. In most instances, however, tablets are crushed in a

mortar and reduced to a powder. When capsules are used as the drug source, the capsule shells are opened and their powdered contents are expelled. The correct quantity of powder is then used to fill the prescription or medication order.
It is important to understand that in addition to the medicinal agent, most solid dosage forms contain additional materials, such as fillers, binders, and disintegrants. These ingredients may have to be considered in the required calculations. For example, a tablet labeled to contain 10 mg of a drug may actually weigh 200 mg or more because of the added ingredients. Calculations involved in the use of injections generally are simplified because injections are labeled according to quantity of drug per unit volume, for example, milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL).
A factor to consider when using manufacturers’ dosage forms in compounding is the uncertainty of the precise content of active therapeutic agent. This is because there are legally allowable variances that, in some cases, may be 90% to 110% of labeled drug content. Thus, whenever possible, use of the bulk chemical in compounding procedure provides better assurance of drug content.
Example calculations for the use of prefabricated dosage forms in compounding
1. Only capsules, each containing 25 mg of indomethacin, are available.
How many capsules should be used to obtain the amount of indomethacin needed in preparing the following prescription?
Because 2 mg/mL of indomethacin is prescribed, 300 mg is needed in
preparing the prescription. Given that each capsule contains 25 mg of indomethacin, then 300 (mg) ÷ 25 (mg) = 12 capsules are needed.
2. The drug metoprolol tartrate (LOPRESSOR) is available as 50-mg
tablets. Before preparing the following prescription, a pharmacist determined that each tablet weighed 120 mg. Explain how to obtain the proper quantity of LOPRESSOR.
15 (mg) × 24 = 360 mg of LOPRESSOR needed
Crush 8 tablets, which contain: 400 mg (8 × 50 mg) of LOPRESSOR 960 mg (8 × 120 mg) of total powder
3. How many milliliters of an injection containing 40 mg of triamcinolone
(TMC) per milliliter should be used in preparing the following prescription?
4. A pharmacist receives the following prescriptionc:
In filling the prescription, the pharmacist chooses to use 10-mg unscored
diazepam tablets. a. How many tablets must be used? b. If the tablets in answer (a) are powdered and weigh a total of 345 mg,
how many milligrams of the powder would provide the diazepam required?
c. If the desired total weight for the contents of each chart (divided
powder) is 250 mg, how much lactose should be used as diluent? Calculations:
a. 0.75 mg × 30 = 22.5 mg diazepam required.
22.5 mg/10 mg per tablet = 2.25 tablets, so 3 tablets must be used.
b.

c. 250 mg × 30 = 7500 mg (total weight) – 258.75 mg (tablet powder
weight) = 7241.25 mg lactose
5. SJ is a 7-year-old female patient weighing 53 pounds. Her caregiver
brings the following prescription to the pharmacy:
In filling the prescription, the pharmacist chooses to use 0.2-mg clonidine
tablets. a. How many clonidine tablets are required to compound the
prescription? b. What volume of clonidine liquid will be required per dose? c. If the medication is taken as directed, how many days will the
medication last?
Calculations: a. 0.05 mg/mL × 60 mL = 3 mg of clonidine required
3 mg/0.2 mg per tablet = 15 tablets b. 53 1b × 1 kg/2.2 lb = 24.09 kg
10 mcg/kg/day × 24.09 kg × 1 day/2 doses × 1 mg/1000 mcg = 0.12
mg clonidine required
0.12 mg × 1 mL/0.05 mg = 2.41 mL
c. 60 mL × 1 dose/2.41 mL × 1 day/2 doses = 12.45 days ≈ 12 days

How many 75-mg TAMIFLU capsules should be used in compounding
a suspension for a 30-kg patient?
If the prophylactic dose for a 30-kg patient is listed as 60 mg once
daily, how many milliliters of the compounded oral suspension would constitute a dose?
Special Calculations: Capsule Filling and Suppository Molding
Capsule filling
6
The extemporaneous filling of capsules enables the pharmacist to prepare patient-specific doses of drugs in a conveniently administered form. Empty capsule shells, made of gelatin, are readily available in a variety of sizes, as shown in Figure 17.3, with size 000 being the largest and size 5 the smallest.
FIGURE 17.3 Hard gelatin capsule sizes, from left to right: 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Filled capsules should be neither underfilled nor overfilled but should hold the ingredients snugly. Different drug powders have different densities, and thus different weights can be packed into a given size capsule (see Table
17.1). In filling a prescription or medication order, a pharmacist should
select a capsule size that accommodates the fill and will be easy for the patient to swallow.
