How many capsules should be dispensed for the prescription "Amoxil 500 mg i po qid x 7d"?

To determine how many capsules should be dispensed for the prescription of "Amoxil 500 mg i po qid x 7d", we need to break down the prescription details:

• "i po" indicates that the dosage is 1 capsule by mouth.

• "qid" means that the medication should be taken four times a day.

• "x 7d" indicates that the medication is to be taken for a duration of 7 days.

Now, let's calculate the total number of capsules needed:

1. The dosage is 1 capsule, taken four times daily.

2. Therefore, in one day, the patient would take 4 capsules (1 capsule x 4 doses).

3. Over the span of 7 days, you would multiply the daily dosage by the number of days: 4 capsules/day x 7 days = 28 capsules.

Thus, the correct amount of capsules to dispense for this prescription is 28.
