The Formula Explained
Maintenance Dose = \(\frac{\text{Dose} \times \text{Bioavailability}}{\text{Dosing Interval}}\)
Glossary of Variables
- Weight (kg): The patient's body weight in kilograms.
- Dose (mg): The prescribed drug dose in milligrams.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For a patient weighing 70 kg with a drug dose of 500 mg, the maintenance dose can be calculated as follows...
