STEP 1

1. The required dosage for the patient is 150 150 mg.
2. Each available tablet provides 50 50 mg of the medication.
3. We need to determine the additional dosage required in mg.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the total dosage needed.
2. Calculate the dosage provided by available tablets.
3. Determine the additional dosage required.

STEP 3

The total dosage needed for the patient is given as 150 150 mg.

STEP 4

Calculate the dosage provided by the available tablet:
Each tablet provides 50 50 mg.

STEP 5

Subtract the dosage provided by one tablet from the total dosage needed to find the additional dosage required:
Additional dosage required=150 mg−50 mg \text{Additional dosage required} = 150 \, \text{mg} - 50 \, \text{mg}

STEP 6

Perform the subtraction to find the additional dosage:
Additional dosage required=100 mg \text{Additional dosage required} = 100 \, \text{mg}
The additional dosage required is:
100 mg\boxed{100 \, \text{mg}}
