I think there is a term for this but I can't remember it and google isn't helping. For ertapenem IM injections. Product labeling instruction to dilution 1000 mg with 3.2 ml of lidocaine. The resulting diliution is 280 mg/ml, not 1000mg/3.2ml=312.5mg/ml if you do the straight math. The actual volume for the full dose is 3.6 ml. There is some sort of expansion or contraction happening? What is the term for this? Thanks anyone who can dig that term up from their heads.
