More Than Just a Calculator
Most tools just multiply numbers. [Your Tool Name] understands clinical context.
- 👶 Pediatric & Neonatal Mode: Safely calculate weight-based dosing ($mg/kg/day$) with built-in safeguards. The system automatically flags if a calculated dose exceeds the maximum adult daily limit.
- Renal Function Adjustments, Serum Creatinine and the AI automatically calculates CrCl (using Cockcroft-Gault or CKD-EPI) and suggests the specific dose reduction or interval extension required for the chosen drug.
- ⚖️ Obesity & Body Weight Logic: Stop guessing which weight to use. The calculator automatically selects Total Body Weight, Ideal Body Weight (IBW), or Adjusted Body Weight (AdjBW) based on the drug’s pharmacokinetic properties (e.g., for Aminoglycosides vs. Beta-lactams).
- 🧪 IV Drip & Infusion Rates: Convert total daily doses into actionable infusion rates ($mL/hr$ or $mcg/kg/min$) for critical care medications like Vasopressors or Insulin.
💉 Dosing Calculator

The AI Advantage
“Smart Fill” Dosing
Don’t waste time looking up formulas. Just ask.
- Natural Language Calculations:Type: “Dose of Paracetamol for a 15kg child”Result: “15 mg/kg = 225 mg per dose (approx 9 mL of 125mg/5mL syrup).”
- Formulary Matching:The AI matches the calculated dose to available market preparations (e.g., tablets, specific syrup concentrations), so you know exactly what to prescribe.
Safety & Compliance
Built-in Safety Nets
- Max Dose Alerts: Instant warnings if an entry exceeds FDA-recommended maximums (e.g., >4g Acetaminophen/day).
- Accumulation Warnings: Flags potential toxicity risks in elderly patients or those with low GFR.
- Source Transparency: Every formula used (BSA, CrCl) is cited with the standard medical reference (e.g., Dubois & Dubois, Sanford Guide logic).
Why You Need a Clinical Dosing Calculator
Reducing Medication Errors
Manual calculation is the leading cause of medication errors, especially in pediatric dosing. [Your Tool Name] standardizes the math, ensuring consistency across your medical team.
Optimized for Special Populations
Standard dosing often fails for complex patients. Our tool specializes in geriatric dosage adjustments and hepatic impairment dosing, ensuring that frail patients receive effective but non-toxic therapy. From vancomycin trough levels to gentamicin nomograms, we handle the pharmacokinetics so you can focus on the patient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dosing FAQ
Q: Which formula is used for Creatinine Clearance?
A: By default, we use the Cockcroft-Gault equation for drug dosing adjustments, as recommended by the FDA. However, you can toggle to MDRD or CKD-EPI in the settings.
Q: Does it handle body surface area (BSA) dosing?
A: Yes. For chemotherapy or specific medications requiring BSA ($mg/m^2$), the calculator computes BSA automatically using the Mosteller formula based on height and weight.
Q: Can I use this for liquid conversions?
A: Absolutely. Enter the target dose (mg), and the tool converts it to volume (mL) based on the concentration of the suspension you select (e.g., 250mg/5mL).
