Always recheck a prescription if you feel the volume of the drug is larger than usual.
(ie. too many tablets, vials etc )
The maximum you should really give a patient:-
TABLETS: No more that 4 in any one dose (unless prednisolone, methotrexate etc.)
LIQUIDS: 5-20 mL for any one dose
INJECTIONS: 1-10mL for any one dose
INFUSIONS: 2-3 L per day
