Dosage Calculator (mg/kg/day)

Formula

The formula to calculate the dosage in milligrams per kilogram per day is:

$D = \frac{T \times W}{D}$

Where:

D is the dosage in milligrams per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day)
T is the total daily dosage (mg)
W is the weight of the patient (kg)
D is the number of doses per day

What is Mg/Kg/Day?

Mg/Kg/Day is a unit of measurement often used in pharmacology and toxicology to indicate the dosage or exposure level of a substance. It stands for milligrams per kilogram per day. This means the amount of a substance (in milligrams) given or received per kilogram of body weight per day. It is used to standardize dosages or exposure levels based on body weight, allowing for more accurate comparisons and calculations.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Daily Dosage (T): 500 mg
Weight of the Patient (W): 70 kg
Number of Doses per Day (D): 2

Step 1: Calculate the dosage using the formula:

$D = \frac{500 \times 70}{2} = 17500$

The dosage is 17500 mg/kg/day.
