The formula to calculate the days supply of eye drops is:
\[ D = \frac{Q}{d \cdot E} \]
Where:
Eye drop days supply is a measure of how long a given quantity of eye drops will last based on the prescribed usage. It considers the total quantity of eye drops dispensed, the number of drops used per eye per day, and the number of eyes being treated. This calculation helps ensure patients have sufficient medication until their next refill or appointment and assists healthcare providers in managing prescriptions efficiently.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the days supply:
\[ D = \frac{30}{3 \cdot 2} = \frac{30}{6} = 5 \text{ days} \]
This means that the eye drops will last for approximately 5 days in this scenario.
