The label of Solu-Medrol reads 500 mg. The fine print reads “Reconstitute with 8.0 ml of Bacteriostatic water for injection with Benzyl Alcohol. When reconstituted as directed each 8.0 ml contains 500mg (62.5 mg per ml).” If a dosage of 125 mg of methylprednisolone is ordered how much solution will you prepare?
