About This Calculator

This tool helps healthcare providers and students calculate safe drug dosages based on patient weight, drug concentration, and recommended per-kg doses.

How It Works

Enter patient weight, the recommended dose per kg, and drug concentration. The calculator multiplies weight by dose/kg, checks against the maximum dose (if any), and displays the exact dose to administer.
