Help! I am very confused. I keep getting 3690 mL...how do I do this?

One of the two most common ingredients in medication designed for the relief of excess stomach acidity is the tri-protic base aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3 (78.0 g/mol). If a patient suffering from a duodenal ulcer displays a hydrochloric acid (36.5 g/mol) concentration of 5.35 x 10-3 M in his gastric juice and he produces 2.80 liters of gastric juice per day, how much medication (in mL) containing 2.60 g Al(OH)3 per 100 mL of solution must he consume per day to neutralize the acid?
