💊 Drug Dosage (mg/kg)
Weight-based medication dosing calculator
About this calculator
The Drug Dosage calculator computes weight-based doses in milligrams per kilogram. Enter the patient's weight, the ordered dose in mg/kg, and the medication concentration to find both the total dose and the volume to draw up. The logic is simple: weight times mg/kg gives the dose, divided by concentration gives the milliliters. For educational purposes only — always verify with clinical protocols and double-check against the order.
Tip: convert pounds to kilograms first, and have a second nurse verify high-risk or pediatric calculations before administering.
