What amount (in mg) of mephaquin antimalarial medication should I take each time?

I am assuming you are talking about Mefloquine.\nThey are distributed as 250 mg tablets, but as far as the dosing goes, you should have been told that when you were given the medication.\nA medication guide from the manufacturer should have been given to you or with the packaging, and the directions should also be written on the bottle.\nIf you do not have the directions, just call the local pharmacy (cvs, walgreens, etc), and they should be able to tell you the dosage.  If you can't do that, call your doctor, I am sure whoever prescribed the medication to you knows the dosage regimen.\n\nHope this helps!

You should only take the amount proscribed by your doctor. Your doctor selected that dosage for a reason. A person can overdose on many drugs, not just the illegal ones.

Well, 1GM ( 1 gram) is the same as 1000MG (1000 milligrams)  Two 500mg tabs would be the same as 1 1gm tab.  Every medication has multiple strengths.  Just because your friends is stronger does NOT mean that you need the same strength.  Take your medication the way your doctor prescribed it.

Ephedrine can be taken up to 32mg/day (usually 8mg pills), whereas Pseudo-ephedrine has a recommended maximum level of 240mg (usually in 60mg pills). Keep in mind this product is intended as a nasal decongestant. Also when taking ephedrine there are a number of other factors to consider like a positive history of heart or thyroid disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, difficulty in urination due to an enlargement of the prostate gland or if you are taking any prescription drugs. Another possible serious drug interaction is if you are on Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) inhibitor drugs.Do NOT take if you are currently taking or have recently taken Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) inhibitor drugs.

1 kg = 1,000,000 mg\nBut that doesn't help you for pharmacology.  When you get the mg/kg unit, it's mg med/kg body weight, so 1000000 mg does not equal 1 kg, since you're talking about two different units (medicine vs body weight).\n\nIf a patient is prescribed 1mg/kg, and he weighs 50kg, he should get 50mg of the medicine.  How many mililiters of it?  It depends on how much water you use to dissolve that 50mg of medicine.

Ask a pharmacist...it would depend on what was in the formula

The best person to answer this would be a Pharmacist.  You can call any pharmacy and ask. If you are just replacing electrolytes then Gatorade would be better for an adult.

you better believe it.  Don't try to find out how much.  Stick to whatever is prescribed for you.  Also, xanax is highly addictive, so don't mess around with it.

1000 mg per day?  Call the coroner.  I think your math is wrong.  If you're taking the highest strength, 6 a day, that's 60 mg. 1000 would kill you.\n\nCall a lawyer if you haven't already.  Otherwise not sure what your question is.

I believe that it is 10mg per day but in divided doses and never more than 2.5mg at a time... the max dose is for people under medical supervision and should not be tried at home... I recommend Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses for that kind of info... can be bought at walmart

Advil.  Take 3 or 4, instead of the recommended dose.  Keep taking it for several days.
