The dosage has to do for 7 days. So total hours are: 7*24 hrs
=168 hrs
The patient has to take tablets every 6 hrs. So the total times he/she has to take the tables are= 168 hrs/6 hrs
=28 times he has to take tablets.
The patient has to take 2 tablets every time. So total number of tablets he/she has to take=
28*2
=56 tablets
So 56 is the number of tablets required for the prescribed dosage.
