Veterinary Drug Dose Rate Calculator
Hello veterinarians, I am Dr Kashif Amin and today we will discuss common veterinary drugs and their dose rate calculation.
Veterinary Drug Dose Rate Calculator
Drug Dose Rate Calculator:
Dose Rate = bodyweight * Dosage rate/Concentration
Dosage rate unit is mg/kg
The concentration of drug is mg/ml
Example Dose Calculation:
Weight = 50 kg Dosage Decadaron = 0.2mg/kg Concentration = 4mg/ml
Dose rate = 50*0.2/4= 2.5 ml
