A 32-yeаr-оld mаle pаtient (weighing 72kg) is receiving treatment in hоspital fоr a severe exacerbation of asthma. Aminophylline has been prescribed and the respiratory registrar would now like to begin twice daily theophylline, aiming for a steady state plasma concentration of 15mg/L. The patient has an estimated theophylline clearance of 3L/h. You calculate theophylline steady state plasma concentration using the following formula: Css = (S x F x D) / (Cl x T) Css = steady statement concentration (mg/L) S = salt factor = 1 F = bioavailability = 1 D = dose (mg) Cl = clearance (L/hour) T = dosing interval (hours) How many milligrams of theophylline should be prescribed to this patient every 12 hours? Round your answer to the nearest 100mg.
