I answered the first part here. https://biology-forums.com/index.php?topic=2052909.1#msg5410330 I too was confused, because the question is supposed to tell you the frequency. It's impossible to answer how much per dose if it has not been prescribed. The only assumption we can make is to say that 1 dose is given per day, and in that case the answer would be 442.25 mg per dose. |
