if lidocaine is represented by a percentage(1% or 2%) followed by a 1:100,000 then it contains epinephrine. the 1:100,000 is the concentration of epinephrine in the medication.
A 10 mL multidose vial of Vistaril (hydroxyzine) at a concentration of 50 mg/mL contains a total of 500 mg of the medication. Since each dose of Vistaril is 25 mg, you can obtain 20 doses from the vial (500 mg ÷ 25 mg per dose = 20 doses).
A 10 mL multidose vial of Vistaril contains a concentration of 50 mg/mL. Therefore, the total amount of Vistaril in the vial is 10 mL × 50 mg/mL = 500 mg. To determine how many 25 mg doses are available, divide the total amount by the dose size: 500 mg ÷ 25 mg/dose = 20 doses. Thus, there are 20 doses of Vistaril 25 mg available in the vial.
On the printed expiration date

To calculate the rocephin (ceftriaxone) mixtures with lidocaine, first determine the required dosage of rocephin based on the patient's needs and the concentration of the vial. Next, decide on the volume of lidocaine to be used, typically 1% or 2% solution, to dilute the rocephin. Mix the rocephin powder with the appropriate volume of lidocaine to achieve the desired concentration, ensuring to follow guidelines for compatibility and stability. Always consult a healthcare professional or pharmacy for specific instructions and calculations suited to the patient's requirements.
