Understanding This Calculator

Weight-Based Dosage Formula

Pediatric medication dosages are often calculated based on the child's body weight to ensure safety and efficacy.

Total Dose = Weight (kg) × Dose per kg (mg/kg)

  • Weight: Child's weight in kilograms
  • Dose: Prescribed amount in mg per kg of body weight

Example 1

Child weighs 15 kg. Prescribed dose is 10 mg/kg.

  • Calculation: 15 × 10
  • Total Dose: 150 mg

Example 2

Child weighs 22 kg. Prescribed dose is 15 mg/kg.

  • Calculation: 22 × 15
  • Total Dose: 330 mg

How to Use

  • Enter the child's weight in kg.
  • Enter the prescribed dose per kg (mg/kg).
