    The person weighing 181 pounds should get 862.05 mg of drugs for each dose.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Weight of the person = 181 pounds

    = 82.1 kg

    2 Dosage = 21 mg per kg per day

    1 dosage = 10.5 mg per kg

    For 1 kg 10.5 mg of drugs can be taken and for 82.1 kg,

    = 82.1 x 10.5

    = 862.05 mg of drugs can be taken

    The person weighing 181 pounds should get 862.05 mg of drugs for each dose.
