This calculator is useful for calculating the dose of oral liquids to be administered based on the patient's weight.
Formula used:
Weight based liquid med. dose (mL) = (DO × LV x Weight)/ LC
Where,
DO = Dose ordered in mg/kg/day or mcg/kg/day
LV = Std. Liq. volume
LC = Liq. Conc. per Std. Liq. volume
For
QD dosing, divide by 1
BID dosing, divide by 2
TID dosing, divide by 3
QID dosing, divide by 4
5x/day dosing, divide by 5
6x/day dosing, divide by 6
