Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I don't know what "q.s" is but I assume you want a total volume of 120 mL of a solution having a strength of 10 mg/mL, so you need 1200 mg of the active ingredient, or 12 x 100 mg tablets.
If this is homework, fine. If you will be actually dosing someone, please check with a qualified person. I am NOT a pharmacy tech.

This order has a problem. The dr's order does not say how much actual dosage of the medicine to give. It just says 120 ml as the given volume amount.
