Yes. That gives you the max safe dose every 6 hours.

If you do this, you will determine the max mgs per day. Your question is max DOSE per day. The DOSE is in mls not mgs. You will need to figure out how many mls to give to get the max mgs per day. The label tells you that there are 160mg in 5 ml.

:) I studied Latin and Greek too! I loved it, but they never taught us anything like "Semper ubi, sub ubi."

Most medical terminology comes from Latin (sometimes Greek) words. When you are studying the terminology, get into the habit of taking the words apart and looking at the Latin roots. You will see the same roots over and over. Knowing the meaning ...
