Based on your answers to Question 3 above, why do you think that, as a general practice, when antibiotics

(including azithromycin) are prescribed to adults, the same dose is usually given, regardless of weight of the

patient?

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Since question 3 is not here, I will answer based on a general perspective.

The dosage of most antibiotics and drugs generally are prescribed without considering the weight of adults. Unlike children that are given dosages based on their weight.

The weight of adults is not considered because the extent to which they weigh is majorly as a result of their adipose (fat) tissue. And the adipose tissue does not determine the tolerance level of drugs. So an adult weighing 200kg and another weighing 50kg will be able to tolerate the same dosage of medications.

Because the adults are adults with fully developed organs, their weight does not matter when prescriptions are made.
