This pediatric dose calculator will help you quickly determine the appropriate medication dosage for children based on their weight.
Pediatric Dose Calculator
Instructions: To use this calculator, input the child’s weight in kilograms and the adult dose in milligrams. Click “Calculate” to see the pediatric dose.
How it works: This calculator uses Clark’s Rule to compute the pediatric dose. Clark’s Rule suggests that the child’s dose is proportional to the adult dose times the weight of the child in kilograms divided by 70 (average adult weight).
Limitations: This calculator does not account for all the nuances of pediatric dosing, including metabolism variations, age, and drug specifics. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before administering any medication.
