Wait, how do we figure out the total dose again? Is it 500 mg times 30 doses? That sounds like a lot of capsules!

I remember a similar question about dosing calculations. I think we might end up needing 40 capsules.

I'm a bit unsure about the conversion. Do we divide the total mg by 250 mg per capsule?

I think we need to calculate the total mg needed first, right? It's 500 mg tid for 10 days.

This looks like a good opportunity to demonstrate my troubleshooting skills. I'd start by trying the script option, then move on to the NTP configurations if that doesn't work.

I'm not so sure, but I feel like it could also be "Low relationship; Low task." They seem less involved.
