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.

If a patient is ordered 0.25 milligrams and there are 500 micrograms available how many tablets will you give?

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.
