Thank you! That's the result I keep getting. I just wanted to be sure. Thank you. I don't think a lot of people realize that there is 350mg/ml after reconstitution and this causes confusion. I appreciate your response.

This is where I'm confused. The vial states there is 350mg/ml after reconstitution.

The vial states for every 1ml there is 350 mg after reconstitution. The 2.1 is listed on the vial. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Intramuscular Administration: Reconstitute Rocephin powder with the appropriate diluent (see COMPATIBILITY AND STABILITY). Inject diluent into vial, shake vial thoroughly to form solution. Withdraw entire contents of vial into syringe to equal total labeled dose. After reconstitution, each 1 mL of solution contains approximately 250 mg or 350 mg.

Hi there I'm a nursing student and I have a question regarding Ceftriaxone dosing calculation. I'm not sure if I should start with the 500mg vial reconstituted with 1.0ml of lidocaine or the 1g vial reconstituted with 2.1 ml for lidocaine. Both the 500 mg and 1g vial will give me 350mg/ml after reconstitution but I don't understand how to get the remaining 50 mg needed for the order. I've tried to figure this out with dimensional analysis and I just confuse myself over and over. I'd really appreciate any sage wisdom that can be offered. Thank you in advance!
