Vancomycin Calculator – Optimize Your Dosage Easily

Instructions

To use the vancomycin dosing calculator, please enter the patient’s weight in kilograms and the serum creatinine level in mg/dL. Then click on the “Calculate” button to get the estimated vancomycin dose. The result will be displayed in the “Result” field.

How It Works

This calculator estimates the vancomycin dose using the patient’s weight and serum creatinine levels, applying evidence-based pharmacokinetic equations. The calculation is designed to reach therapeutic vancomycin trough levels, assuming standard dosing intervals and normal adult pharmacokinetics.

Limitations

This calculator is intended to be a guide only. It does not account for specific patient variables like age, pregnancy, or comorbid conditions which can affect vancomycin pharmacokinetics. Always consult a clinical pharmacologist or infectious disease specialist when necessary.
