Multiplies a prescribed milligrams-per-kilogram value by body weight, and optionally divides by liquid concentration to suggest a volume in millilitres. For learning and double-checking only - never replace a prescriber or pharmacist.
Quick answer: Medication Dosage Calculator (Educational)
Multiply written mg/kg by weight, then divide by mg/mL if you are sanity-checking a liquid syringe pull.
Example: 0.15 mg/kg × 22 kg = 3.3 mg total; 120 mg/5 mL implies ~0.1375 mL - often rounded per protocol, not by this raw line.
Calculations follow the documented formula on this page; rounding and input units can change the last digit-treat outputs as educational estimates unless you reconcile with source systems.
* This is an estimate. Actual amounts may vary slightly based on input assumptions.
Renal adjustment, max daily caps, rounding to measurable volumes, and twin-pack concentrations are all out of scope - pharmacist wins every dispute.
