Explanation:

A 150 ml bottle of Amoxicillin

250 mg/ml for oral suspension of Amoxicillin

requires the addition of 78 ml of Purified Water

to give a 150 ml of suspension.

given that the dosage of powder amoxicillin is 250mg to 1ml of water

therefore for 78ml of water;

the powder volume = suspension/water

= 250mg/ml * 78ml = 19,500mg = 19.5grams
