The prescription is filled with 250 mg tablets. How many tablets will the patient need to take every day to achieve the ordered dosing?

The treatment of choice for all stages of syphilis in adults is penicillin G, but in patients allergic to penicillin, oral tetracycline may be given. Syphilis is susceptible to tetracycline, and recommended by the CDC in cases of penicillin allergy.

500. mg / 250 mg = 2

2 tablets every 6 hours = 12
