Miconazole oral gel spoon doses and tube supply for the GPhC assessment

The manufacturer's UK product information for Daktarin oral gel states that for oropharyngeal candidosis, adults and children aged 2 years and older apply 2.5 ml (half a measuring spoon) of gel four times a day after meals, and that infants aged 4 to 24 months apply 1.25 ml (a quarter of a measuring spoon) four times a day.

The same information states that the provided measuring device is equivalent to 122 mg for 5 ml, that the gel should be kept in the mouth as long as possible and not swallowed immediately, and that treatment should be continued for at least a week after the symptoms have disappeared.

Daktarin oral gel is packed in 15 g, 40 g and 80 g aluminium tubes, with a 5 ml polypropylene spoon marked with quarter and half graduations (1.25 ml and 2.5 ml). The printed spoon figure of 122 mg per 5 ml is used for mg questions on this page.

Each question fixes the values needed for its arithmetic. Write the unit beside every step and distinguish a single application from a daily total. All prescriptions and patients here are fictional; these are revision materials, not for patient care.
