If a patient is prescribed amoxicillin/clavulanate 250 mg t.i.d., how many days will a bottle containing 30 tablets last?

To determine how many days a bottle containing 30 tablets of amoxicillin/clavulanate will last when prescribed at a dosage of 250 mg t.i.d. (three times a day), you first need to calculate the total daily dosage.

With the prescription of 250 mg t.i.d., the total daily dosage amounts to:

250 mg x 3 = 750 mg per day.

Now, to find out how many days the bottle will last, you divide the total number of tablets by the number of tablets taken per day. Since the patient is taking three tablets a day (one tablet for each of the three doses), here's how the calculation should look:

30 tablets ÷ 3 tablets per day = 10 days.

This indicates that the supply of 30 tablets will sustain the patient for 10 days at the prescribed dosage of amoxicillin/clavulanate. Therefore, the correct response is that the medication will last for 10 days.
