Calculates a per-dose amount from a weight and a mg/kg dose, applies a maximum-dose ceiling, and converts to a volume.
| Field | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | kg | 0.3–150 |
| Dose per dose | mg/kg | mg/kg PER DOSE — not per day. Many formulary doses are mg/kg/day divided into N doses; divide first. |
| Max single dose (optional) | mg | Absolute cap for a SINGLE dose (often the adult dose) — not the daily max |
| Concentration (optional) | mg/mL | mg per 1 mL. A 250 mg/5 mL syrup = 50 mg/mL. |

Generic arithmetic helper. It does not know the drug, the indication, renal/hepatic adjustments, or the correct mg/kg — verify everything against the formulary.

The calculators are deterministic and unit-tested and the AI never invents a dose, but outputs are not a substitute for your training, examination, local protocols, or primary guidelines.
