Single Dose vs Child Weight
Formula
Weight-Based Pediatric Dosing
Single Dose = Weight (kg) x Dose (mg/kg)
Daily Dose = Single Dose x Doses per Day
Pediatric medications are typically dosed based on body weight because children's bodies process drugs differently than adults. Always verify doses with a pharmacist or prescribing reference.

This calculator is for educational purposes. Always confirm doses with a healthcare provider and check maximum dose limits.
Exemplo Resolvido
A 25 kg child prescribed 10 mg/kg three times daily.
- 01Single dose = 25 x 10 = 250 mg
- 02Daily total = 250 x 3 = 750 mg/day
- 03Verify: 750 / 25 = 30 mg/kg/day
Perguntas Frequentes
Why are pediatric doses based on weight?
Children metabolize drugs differently than adults. Weight-based dosing ensures appropriate drug levels based on body size. Using adult doses for children could cause toxicity or underdosing.
Should I round pediatric doses?
Doses are often rounded to practical amounts. For liquid medications, round to the nearest measurable increment. Always check with a pharmacist.
What if the calculated dose exceeds the adult dose?
Pediatric doses should never exceed the maximum adult dose. When the weight-based calculation exceeds the adult limit, use the adult dose as the cap.
