Overview

The Medication Dosage Calculator computes weight-based and body surface area (BSA)-based drug dosages for both pediatric and adult patients. All results must be verified by a qualified healthcare professional before use.

Formula

Weight-based dose = weight (kg) × dose (mg/kg) | BSA (Mosteller formula) = √(height (cm) × weight (kg) / 3600) | BSA-based dose = BSA (m²) × dose (mg/m²) | Example: 25 kg child, 10 mg/kg → 250 mg

How to Use

1. 1Enter the patient's weight in kilograms.
2. 2Enter height in centimeters if BSA-based dosing is needed.
3. 3Select the prescribed dosage unit (mg/kg or mg/m²).
4. 4Click 'Calculate' to see the computed dose.

Tips

• ✔This calculator is for educational and reference purposes ONLY. Always follow prescriptions from a doctor or pharmacist.
• ✔Pediatric dosing is NOT simply a proportional reduction of adult doses — each drug has specific pediatric guidelines.
• ✔Patients with impaired liver or kidney function may require dose adjustments.
• ✔Drug allergies and interactions are not accounted for — always consult a healthcare professional.
