Dividing 5.58 mg by 2.5 mg will tell you how many times the patient should take the drug. How often he/she should take it, however, is up to the doctor to say.

What Is The Difference Between 2.5 Mg Every 12 Hrs And 5mg Every 24.

Mathematically, there is no difference, although physiologically there may be. Sorry, I can only answer the mathematical part, not the part on medical biology.
