Correction - Needs route Re: still neeed help..

[Guest guest]

Dear ElectraKizz

Sorry ElectraKizz, I left off the route which is VERY important.

Write the Sig for: 200mg BID x 7 days? Only 100mg capsules are available

Since it takes TWO 100 mg capsules to EQUAL a 200 mg dose

the label would read:

Take two capsules orally twice a day for seven days.

Trade Drug Name 100 mg caps #28

Alternatively:

Take 2 capsules orally twice a day for 7 days.

generic drug name 100 mg caps (mfg) Qty 28

Alternatively:

Take 2 capsules by mouth two times a day for 7 days.

Trade Drug Name 100 mg caps Qty 28

Hope this helps,
