Weight conversion
1 lb = 0.4536 kg. Dosage calculations use weight in kilograms.
Step 2: Medication Details
Common formulas
Daily dose = single dose × frequency
Volume (mL) = dose (mg) ÷ concentration (mg/mL)
Tablets = dose (mg) ÷ tablet strength (mg)

Dosage Calculation Formulas
Weight-based dosing
Single dose (mg) = Weight (kg) × Dose (mg/kg)
Total daily dose (mg) = Single dose × Frequency
Fixed dosing
Single dose (mg) = Fixed dose (mg)
Total daily dose (mg) = Fixed dose × Frequency
Liquid volume
Volume per dose (mL) = Single dose (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)
Tablet count
Tablets per dose = Single dose (mg) ÷ Tablet strength (mg)
(if tablet strength > 0, otherwise N/A)
Weight conversion
lb to kg = lb × 0.45359237
