This tool will help you quickly calculate the appropriate pediatric dose of Augmentin based on the child’s weight.
Augmentin Pediatric Dose Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the appropriate dose of Augmentin for pediatric patients based on their weight and the recommended dosage.
How to Use the Calculator
Enter the child’s weight in kilograms, the suggested dosage (standard is 30 mg/kg/day), and choose the dosing frequency (twice a day or three times a day). Click the “Calculate” button to get the result, which will display the recommended amount of medication in milligrams for each individual dose.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator multiplies the child’s weight (kg) by the dosage (mg/kg/day) and then divides this figure by the number of doses per day to find the dosage per dose.
Limitations of the Calculator
This tool must be used as a guide only and does not substitute medical advice. The accuracy of the calculated dose is contingent upon the correctness of the input values. Always consult with a healthcare provider for exact dosing. The calculator does not account for individual variations in metabolism or specific clinical situations that might require dose adjustments.
