Question: She has to take 1 1/2 tsp 30 min prior to a cat scan. It's 500 mg. she weighs 32 pounds, its this the right amount? Dr. prescribed it and I am just double checking on my own.

she also takes claritin for allergies, but I will not give it to her the night before the test.

So if she gets 1 and 1/2 teaspoons thats 750mg. and Yes she gets 50mg/kg. SHe weighs 15 kg if shes 32pounds. He prescribed the right dose for her. They will just have to monitor her till she wakes up good to make sure she is ok. Or they should.
