Why a Medication Calculator?
Medical providers typically utilize weight-based dosing to ensure patients receive adequate but not excessive doses of medications, most commonly in pediatric patients. This Medication Calculator is intended to be a resource to provide accurate weight-based dosing in the home setting. OTC pediatric fever reducing medications typically suggest using weight base dosing when possible, on their labels.
