I've seen an increasing number of orders for a "glassful" of a -lyte
product on a daily basis, usually 4 to 8 ounces. Of course, the
product "expires" in 48 hours after mixing, thereby limiting the
facility to 2-3 doses from the jug. Jugs cannot be shared by different
patients.

Has anyone measured the correct amount of powder for such a dose? I
used a ratio-and-proportion to arrive at the weight of the powder for
a 4 ounce dose, but I was wondering if anyone has already found a
quick way that involves a simple measure or similar that could be
performed at any of the 100+ facilities I'm involved with. It is not
practical for our pharmacy to divide these doses in advance. Golytely
is available in packets, but I'm not aware of the dosage size.

Please reply to the NG or via e-mail. Thanks in advance for any help.
