Dose per Kg Calculator
mg/kg arithmetic with dose-cap handling and mL conversion — the universal weight-based dose template.
Weight-based dosing is where ten-fold errors live — a misplaced decimal in weight or concentration passes silently through the multiplication. The professional habits this tool mirrors: always cross-check against the stated maximum (children's mg/kg can exceed adult caps), always confirm the *preparation* strength (syrups come in multiple concentrations), and have doses independently double-checked.
