Using the Drug Calculator

Drug mixtures for intravenous (IV) drug infusions combine information on drug dose, rate, amount, volume, concentration, and standardized rate. The Drug Calculator helps you to manage infusions by calculating one of these values at a time.

Term	Definition	Units

Dose	total quantity of drug to be delivered to the	amount units per time or per kg/
	patient over time	time, if the drug is weight-dependent
Rate	volume of the mixture to be delivered to the	ml/hour
	patient over time
Amount	amount of drug to be added to diluent to	ng, mcg*, mg, g, mUnit, Unit, where
	make up a mixture	g stands for gram
Volume	quantity of mixture of diluent and drug	ml

Concentration	ratio of the amount of drug to the solution	amount units per ml
	volume
Standardized	1ml volume of the mixture to be delivered to	ml/hr
Rate	the patient per hour

*Be aware that your hospital may use either ‘∝g’ or ‘mcg’ as an abbreviation for microgram. These abbreviations are equivalent.

WARNING Before you administer any drug, always check that the correct calculation units and patient category are selected. Consult your pharmacy if you have questions.

Decisions on the choice and dosage of drugs administered to patients must always be made by the physician in charge. The Drug Calculator performs calculations based on the values input during use, it does not check the plausibility of the calculations performed.
