  2. Standard adult dose of Sulphadoxine for this antimalarial combination.

    1500 mg1500\ \mathrm{mg}
  3. Formula for number of tablets required.

    n=total dosedose per tabletn = \frac{\mathrm{total\ dose}}{\mathrm{dose\ per\ tablet}}
  4. Substitute values.

    n=1500 mg500 mg/tabletn = \frac{1500\ \mathrm{mg}}{500\ \mathrm{mg/tablet}}

    n=3 tabletsn = 3\ \mathrm{tablets}
