Drug dosage calculations

The drug dosage calculator provides specific dose information based upon patient demographic information provided in the fields above and the indications and routes selected for the drug. As with all clinical decision support tools, ultimately use clinical judgement when selecting the dose to be administered for a specific patient.

• If the dose is weight-based and weight is provided, the mass and volume of drug will also be calculated
  • For volume, verify the correct preparation of the drug is selected
• If the drug has different dosing based upon age (e.g. pediatric, elderly) and age is provided, an adjusted dose will be provided if the data is available.
