Medical disclaimer

For qualified health professionals

PediaRx is a clinical decision-support reference for registered doctors, nurses and pharmacists. It is not intended for self-medication or for use by patients or carers without professional supervision.

Verify before prescribing

Doses are derived from published guidance and product labels, but guidance changes, products differ between countries and individual patients need individual decisions. Always verify the dose, route and frequency against current national guidance, your local protocol and the label of the product you are using, and consider allergies, renal and hepatic function, pregnancy, breastfeeding and drug interactions.

Limitations

• Neonatal, oncology, renal-replacement and intensive-care dosing are outside the scope of the calculator unless explicitly shown.
• Reference weights estimated from age are population medians — use a measured weight whenever possible.
• Hospital and emergency regimens assume supervised administration.

No warranty

PediaRx is provided free of charge, as is, without warranty of any kind. The authors accept no liability for decisions made using it. Clinical responsibility remains with the prescriber.
