Weight-Based Dosing Calculator
Calculate total dose from mg/kg ordered dose and patient weight. Includes automatic lb-to-kg conversion and weight sanity checks.
TIP
Most common mistake: Entering pounds as kilograms. A 70 lb child entered as 70 kg gets a 2.2x overdose. Always confirm the weight unit with the chart or scale readout. When in doubt, weigh in kg at the bedside.
