Infusion Molar Ratio Calculator





Formula

The formula to calculate the infusion molar ratio is:

\[ R = \frac{M_d}{M_c} \]

where \( R \) is the infusion molar ratio, \( M_d \) is the moles of drug infused, and \( M_c \) is the moles of carrier infused.

What is an Infusion Molar Ratio?

The infusion molar ratio is a measure used in pharmacology and chemistry to describe the proportion of drug molecules to carrier molecules in an infusion solution. This ratio is crucial for ensuring the correct dosage and effectiveness of the drug being administered. By maintaining an appropriate molar ratio, healthcare providers can optimize the therapeutic effects of the drug while minimizing potential side effects.

Example Calculation

Let's assume we have the following values:

Step 1: Divide the moles of drug infused by the moles of carrier infused:

\[ R = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 \]

Therefore, the infusion molar ratio is \( R = 0.5 \).
