Potency is the relationship between the the dose of a drug and the therapeutic effect. It refers to the drug's strength. A drug is considered potent when a small amount of the drug achieves the intended effect. Efficacy is the ability of a drug to produce the desired therapeutic effect. Efficacy means that the drug is effective. When comparing two drugs that work equally, the one with the lower dose has a higher potency. They have equal efficacy

What is the answer to the question A patient needs to receive 35mg of a drug. The drug is available in a strength of 100mgtsp. How many tsp of the drug must the patient swallow to take it correct.?

The strength of the drug is 100 mg/teaspoonful so the strength is 100 mg/5 mL. 5 ml x 35/100 = 1.75 mL. It is best to measure this amount in an oral syringe, if a precise dose is needed. Otherwise, it is ~about~ 1/3 of a teaspoon (33 mg).

1g of a drug is dissolved in 2.5mL of solution what is the percentage strength of the solution ww How do you calculate percent ww when 1g of drug is dissolved in 2.5mL of solution?

To calculate the weight/weight (ww) percentage strength of the solution, divide the weight of the drug (1g) by the total weight of the solution (1g drug + weight of solvent in 2.5mL). Since the density of most common solvents is close to 1g/mL, the weight of the solvent in 2.5mL would be around 2.5g. Therefore, the total weight of the solution would be 1g (drug) + 2.5g (solvent) = 3.5g. So, the ww percentage strength of the solution would be (1g / 3.5g) * 100% = 28.57%.
