The prescribed dosage is actually less than the amount in one tablet, so you cannot give a partial tablet.
Here's the breakdown anyway, assuming you might want to know for informational purposes:
Convert prescribed dosage from milligrams to grams:
625 milligrams / 1000 milligrams/gram = 0.625 grams
Calculate the number of tablets needed (theoretical):
Theoretically, dosage (grams) / tablet strength (grams/tablet) = number of tablets
0.625 grams / 1.25 grams/tablet = 0.5 tablets
Since you cannot give half a tablet, the best course of action would be to:
Consult with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist to clarify the appropriate dosage. They might adjust the prescription or recommend alternative medications.
Important Note: I am a large language model and cannot provide medical advice. Always consult with a licensed medical professional for any questions or concerns about medication dosages.
To convert 625mg to grams, you divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 625mg is equal to 0.625g. To find out how many 1.25g are in 0.625g, you divide 0.625g by 1.25g, which equals 0.5. Therefore, there are 0.5 of 1.25g in 625mg.

500ug per tablet i assume. There are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. Therefore 0.25 milligrams is 250 micrograms. If there are 500ug per tablet, and you want 250ug, you give them 0.5 tablets. Please learn to do this ASAP before you are trusted to administer medication, as answers you get may not always be as correct as this. Also, this kind of thing could really cause patients unknowing distress.
