Can I get into a college majoring in pharmacy with a high math score but a low reading/writing score?
Q. If I decide to major in pharmacy and my math SAT score was about 660, and my reading and writing were in a range of 460-490 will the college take into consideration the major I am in. Pharmacy is more of the math side, and reading/writing dont play a factor as much.

A. well... I have to say... I don't think that they use SAT scores to evaluate getting into pharmacy school. I didn't do so hott on my ready and writing, but I still got in. Really, they judge more on your GPA, extracurriculars, volunteer activities, etc. You shouldn't have a problem. They do however, take your PCAT into consideration, but SAT you don't need to worry about once you get into a college to do your prereqs.

How good do you have to be at math to be a pharmacy technician? Math is not my strong point.?
Q. I have always had to have a math tutor in school. Should i persue this or should I look for something else entirely? Any advice?
Asked by Kristy M - Sat May 12 21:20:47 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, you will need to be fairly good at math. You will be responsible for calculating dosages of medicine and maybe even IV solutions. I am not trying to discourage you but I recently graduated with a degree as a Medical Assistant and in my Pharmacology class, there were a lot of math problems. It is critical that doses are calculated correctly. One mistake can cost someone their life. Good luck in whatever you decide!

A.

Q. I have worked in a Pharmacy before, in a large hospital, transporting drugs and refilling supplies. However I am taking a new position which involves actual dispending, packaging and sterile preperation of drugs. My math skills are not very strong. Will I have a problem doing my job?
Asked by Andrew P - Mon Jun 30 14:29:13 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The skill you will need most while dispending drugs is a sense of proportion. This is the same skill that cooks need when they prepare food :) However, as a pharmacist, your job carries a lot of responsibility, since your actions will impact many lives. Instead of studying up the entire Maths syllabus (which may scare you off), you may want to look up those chapters that are relevant to your job. Do remember that "maths skills are not very strong" neednt be a permanent problem. Get someone to help you with the concepts, and soon you may find that Maths isnt the demon that it is perceived to be. Good luck with your job.

Asked by joschaos - Tue Oct 28 15:56:15 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. 600 mL water is 600 g That's 6000 mg so we need (1/5000)*6000 mg of KMnO4 = 12 mg, which is less than a tablet. On the other hand, if it wer to be a 1:5000 solution, we'd need 120mg, which is 120/30 = 4 tablets. You have 8.5% of 500g = 42.5 g of aminosyn. You want only 2.5% of 500g = 12.5 g. So take (2.5/8.5)*500 mL = 147 mL of the solution and dilute it to 500 mL.

Pharmacy Math Question?
Q. This questions relates to some math questions [e.g. proportions] on the Pharmacy Technician Exam...ok, so let's say we have this problem: You have an order for 20% Dextrose 500 ml. You have a 1000 ml bag of Dextrose 70%. How much of the Dextrose 70% do you need to use to make Dextrose 20% 500 ml? The answer is 142.8 ml...I understand how they got the answer [multiply 20 by 500 and then divide by 70], but what I don't understand is how come proportions can't be used in these types of questions??? In the case of proportions, the 70 would be multiplied by 500 and then the answer would be divided by 20...I think I'm confusing myself...but if someone could help me out with this proportion dilemma, I'd REALLY appreciate it! Thanks in advance! [cont.]

A. I believe you are confused because you are only thinking of directly proportional relations and not on inversely proportional relations. This is an INVERSE relation. The way I understand this; is that you have to provide a certain MASS (absolute grams) of dextrose; which is 0.20 * 500 ml = 100 grams of dextrose; and 0.70 * X ml = the same 100 grams of dextrose; so: 0.20 * 500 = 0.70 * X, then X= (0.20 * 500) / 0.70 = 142.85 ml Notice that I converted BOTH percentages to fractions (just to be more "mathematically formal"); but since both 20 and 70 were divided by 100, the result is the same. Hope this helps.

A. you want me to do your homework for you? I think not. I worked for about 10 years in a clean room and did this very stuff all day long. So perhaps I can provide some hints. I will tell you how to do the vancomycin question, and the first Pen G question in hopes that it well help you figure out how to do things. If the final volume is 20 ml and you are adding 13.8 ml water then the volume of the powder is 20 minus 13.8 ml. The answer is 6.2 ml. I'm not sure where they are getting their vancomycin from, but they got some huge purity issues. Commercially available vancomycin is about 1 gm per ml. OK you have 5 million units diluted to 250,000 units per ml. 5,000,000/250,000 = 20 ml subtract out 18.2 ml equals 1.8 ml powder volume. Oops, [cont.]

A. you want me to do your homework for you? I think not. I worked for about 10 years in a clean room and did this very stuff all day long. So perhaps I can provide some hints. I will tell you how to do the vancomycin question, and the first Pen G question in hopes that it well help you figure out how to do things. If the final volume is 20 ml and you are adding 13.8 ml water then the volume of the powder is 20 minus 13.8 ml. The answer is 6.2 ml. I'm not sure where they are getting their vancomycin from, but they got some huge purity issues. Commercially available vancomycin is about 1 gm per ml. OK you have 5 million units diluted to 250,000 units per ml. 5,000,000/250,000 = 20 ml subtract out 18.2 ml equals 1.8 ml powder volume. Oops, [cont.]

A. yes, but honestly, its not that bad as of what you heard about it. im 18 and i am one, and trust me, lol, i hate math. i usually have to count on my fingers, but i mean, its hoenstly not that much. the only math a pharm tech needs to know is a basic conversion chart (like oz to ml), and some formulas dealing with different things. for example, when youre typing up a script, you have to calculate the days supply or how much of something from the directions.the pharmacy i work at have calculations right next to the computers, so that definatly helps. so i wouldnt worry about the math part, its a breeze:) trust me, thats the easiest stuff to do- i honestly would say that trying to read the doctors handwriting or remembering/fixing problems… [cont.]

A. 1: You wouldn't measure a dry powder in milliliters. You can't really know exactly how much water to add unless the know the mls the dissolved drug take up. You could add 10mls then QS up to 15 mls once it dissolved in the orginal 10mls. 2 If the total volume of 2 grams is 15mls. Then 7.5 mls added to 50 mls of NS or D5W would be the answer. 3. If the total volume is 100 mls then 100ml/60 minutes= 1.66ml/min. Of course, you would set up the pump in mls/hr which in this case is 100ml/hr...duh. If the total volume is 107.5 mls then 1.8mls/min.
