Calculating Prescription Details

After entering all the required input data, the calculator will provide the following results.

• Base Dose per Day:

  This is calculated by multiplying the patient’s weight by 5 and then by the medication type factor.

• Kidney Function Adjusted Dose:

  The base dose is adjusted according to the patient’s kidney function by applying creatinine clearance percentage.

• Single Dose Amount:

  The adjusted dose is divided by the dosing frequency to calculate the amount per dose.

• Standard Treatment Duration:

  The duration of the treatment is determined by multiplying the medication type factor by 7 days.

• Expected End Date:

  This is calculated by adding the treatment duration to the treatment start date. The result will be in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

• Total Medication Required:

  The total amount of medication is the adjusted dose multiplied by the treatment duration.

Use the calculated values to manage the patient’s prescription regime effectively, considering their specific medical needs and circumstances.
