[jabdulrhman]

I want ask you question please about capsules filling

35:03 For APAP, third bullet point - shouldn't it be 2, 160 mg divided by "325 mg", not divided by 400 mg??? Since 325 mg is the strength of the tablet, 400 mg is the weight of the tablet. For Benadryl and Sudafed, once you got the mg needed for 12 capsules you divided by 25 mg and 60 mg which are the strengths. But for APAP, you divided by the weight in the third bullet point. Idk if that makes sense but I thought it would ask :)

When we do these calculations on the exam, do we calculate for one extra capsule?

Do you know if for the NYS compounding exam we should memorize the capsule sizes and their subsequent mg (or that information is given in the exam)?
