Drug Dose Calculator Formula & Worked Example

Formula
Volume to give (mL) = (Dose [mg/kg] × Weight [kg]) ÷ Concentration [mg/mL]

Worked example Desired dose = 2 mg/kg, Weight = 70 kg, Concentration = 50 mg/mL

  1. Multiply dose by weight: 2 × 70 = 140 mg total drug required.

  2. Divide total drug by concentration: 140 ÷ 50 = 2.8 mL. Therefore, give 2.8 mL.
