Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Sue; Deb asked for help in locating a medication dose calculator. There's one available at: http://www.psc-literature.org/dosecalc.htm The calculator takes your weight in lb, and your daily dose of medication in mg, and then gives you a calculation of dose in mg/kg body weight/day. Suppose your weight was 125 lb and your dose of ursodiol was 600 mg per day, then the dose would be equal to 10.584 mg/kg body weight/day. If your dose was 1200 mg/day then your dose would be equal to 21.168 mg/kg/day. Many in this group are taking high-doses ursodiol, typically 25 - 30 mg/kg/day. Best regards, Dave (father of (21); PSC 07/03; UC 08/03) >You might want to look for the dosage calculator to see how many > millegrams per killogram of body weight you need to be taking. (Can > someone else please point her to where that is? I don't recall.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
