pounds.the sig reads----tsp qid until gone.What would the tsp dose be?how many days will the prescription last

Answers:
44lbs * (1kg/2.2lbs) = 20kg
20kg * 40mg/kg/day = 800mg/day
800mg/day * 1day/4doses = 200mg/dose (qid=4 times a day)
400mg/5ml = 200mg/xml
x=2.5ml (1/2 tsp)
10ml/day :: 100ml = 10 days
