Dose regimens1

This calculator performs arithmetic only on the sourced dosing field shown for each result — it does not verify the field's accuracy, does not select which field to use for a patient, and does not replace a veterinarian's order. Not for clinical use. Confirm every result against the primary source before dispensing.

Review the source route shown below.
Enter patient weight and its unit.
For volume, optionally enter a matching label concentration.

Source route: IV

Patient weight (other species, kg)

Patient weight stays in this browser tab only — it is never sent to the server, logged, or saved. Changing species or weight units clears weight and concentration; enter the new values before calculating.

Optional concentration (mg/mL) — verify against the label

mg/mL

Enter the product label concentration in mg/mL matching the same ingredient/combined dose basis and formulation as the source dose. No formulation is selected or verified by the platform. Species or weight-unit changes clear this field.

Manual verification required — this source did not state a per-weight dose this calculator can compute from.
