                       10 hours

 

 

25 gtt/min   = 15 gtt                    100 ml                    1 hour

                   ---------    x             -------        X        ---------

                        ml                           hr                            60 min

1 cap  =   cap           1000mg           0.05 g

             -------    X  ---------  X  ----------

                50 mg            1 g                1 (doesn't really have to be here...but if it helps do it)

 

10 ml =  5 ml          500 mg    

            -------- X   -------
