Dose by Weight guide
Use this guide to practise the transparent arithmetic behind dose by weight.
Formula
weight × dose per kg
Worked example
A fictional 70 kg value at 2 mg/kg gives 140 mg.
No ceiling dose, age, indication or organ-function adjustment is checked.
Educational medication-calculation arithmetic practice only. Use fictional or tutor-provided values. Do not enter patient information or use the result for an individual patient.
