3 A dose is the quantity of drug taken or given. Doses are expressed using one of the following formats: Quantity of drug, e.g. 25 mg, 5 ml, 250 mg/ml. Amount of drug per kilogram of body weight, e.g. 5mg/kg. Amount of drug per square meter of body surface (BSA), e.g. 10 mg/m2 BSA. The latter two methods, based on the patient's body size (weight or body surface area), are often used for pediatric doses, but they are useful for adult doses for certain drugs. This is especially true for with narrow therapeutic indices and drugs used in radiopharmaceuticals. Dosage Regimens A dosage regimen gives the name and the quantity or concentration of drug with frequency of schedule of administration. Name and quantity of drug with frequency of administration: Example: Diazepam 2 mg three times a day or Diazepam 6 mg per day in 3 divided doses NOTE: The technician should use CAUTION when doses are expressed in the second way as it has been misread as 6 mg/dose to be given in 3 doses/day - 3 times a day is the intended dose! Name and concentration of drug with frequency of administration: Example: Hydrocortisone cream 2.5% apply BID Name of drug and quantity of drug per kilogram of body weight with frequency of administration: Example: Haloperidol 10 mcg per kg three times a day or Haloperidol 30 mcg per kg per day in 3 divided doses NOTE: Again, use great CAUTION with this equivalent expression as it has been misread. Name and quantity of drug per square meter (m2) of body surface area with frequency of administration: Example: Haloperidol 1 mg/m2 BSA three times a day or Haloperidol 3 mg per m2 per day in 3 divided doses
4 NOTE: Again use CAUTION with this equivalent expression as it has been misread. Calculating the amount of drug product to dispense or days supply from a dosage regimen. Sometimes the pharmacy technician is required to determine the amount or number of units of a product to dispense from a dosage regimen and a prescribed number of days for therapy. Example 1: Cephalexin 500 mg capsules Give 1 cap BID for 10 days. The patient needs to take 2 capsules each day for 10 days. 2 caps/day x 10 days = 20 capsules Example 2: Amoxicillin Susp. 250mg/5ml Take 1 tsp TID for one week. Since 1 tsp = 5 ml Therefore 5ml/dose x 3 doses daily x 7 days = 105 ml Example 3: Cefaclor 25mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses The child in this case weighs 44 pounds: 44 lbs 2.2 lb/kg = 20 kg Give for ten days. The daily dose in milligrams of Cefaclor: 25mg/kg/day x 20kg = 500 mg/day Cefaclor is to be given in two divided doses: 500 mg/day 2 doses/day = 250 mg/dose The number of 250 mg doses to give is: 2 doses/day x 10 days = 20 doses If the child can take capsules, this would be twenty 250 mg capsules. If the child requires a liquid product, Cefaclor is available in a reconstitutable suspension which has a concentration of 250 mg/5 ml. The volume to dispense would be: 5 ml/dose x 20 doses = 100 ml Calculate Supply Needed
5 Calculate the number of day's supply from the dosage regimen and the number of units dispensed. This is often required for third - party insurance claims. Example 1: Dilantin 100 mg # 100 Give 1 cap BID. The number of days supply can be calculated by dividing the number of capsules dispensed by the number of capsules used per day. 100 caps/2 caps per day = 50 days Example 2: Albuterol Inhaler 17 g Use two puffs QID. The product insert states that each Albuterol canister contains 200 inhalations. Since this prescription calls for 2 puffs four times a day, this patient will be using 8 inhalations per day. The number of days supply can be calculated by dividing 200 inhalations by 8 inhalations per day = 25 days. Dosing in Special Cases Geriatric patients often require special consideration when designing dosage regimen. Pediatric patients are not just little adults. They also need pediatric doses. In both geriatric and pediatric doses, the technician should use references such as USP/DI, Drug Facts and Comparison, and product package inserts. There are also general rules for calculating an infant's or child's dose of medication when given the age or weight of the patient and the normal adult dose. These general rules are not drug - specific and should only be used in the absence of more complete information. It is the duty of pharmacists to be knowledgeable about the limitations of using set formulas or rules for calculating pediatric doses. It is best to use dosing based on information in pharmacy reference books or package inserts. Example: Jill is a 5 y. o. female patient. Jill weighs 42 pounds and is 43 inches tall. The prescriber wants to give Diazepam to Jill. What is an acceptable dose? Checking the USP/DI the technician finds: "Usual pediatric dose: Children 6 months of age and over -- Oral, 1 to 2.5 mg, 40 to 200 mcg (0.04 to 0.2 mg) per kg of body weight, or 1.17 to 6 mg per square meter of body surface, three to four times a day, the dosage being increased gradually as needed and tolerated." 1
6 What is the dose of Diazepam for Jill based on the quantity given in the USP/DI? 1 to 2.5 mg given 3 to 4 times a day What is the dose of Diazepam for Jill based on the mg/kg dose given in the USP/DI? Calculate the weight in kg of Jill: Calculating Weight in kg ( ) Calculate the dose of Diazepam based on Jill's weight: Calculating Dose Based on Weight ( ) What is the dose of Diazepam for Jill based on the mg/m2, body surface area (BSA) dose given in the USP/DI? Body Surface Area (BSA) is based on Jill's weight and height and is read from a nomogram (nomograms for adults and children are included). Nomograms are used in the following way: Find the patient's weight in pounds or kilograms on the right hand side of the nomogram. Find the patient's height in inches or centimeters on the left hand side of the nomogram. Draw a straight line connecting these two points and red the BSA in m2 at the point the line intersects with the middle line. BSA for Jill = 0.76m2 USP/DI said mg per square meter of body surface TID - QID
7 Calculation of dose for Jill: Calculating Dose ( ) Calculation of dose using normal adult dose and "rules" for pediatric doses based on the child's weight or age. Example: Tom is a 5 y. o. male patient who weighs 46 pounds. The prescriber wants to give Captopril to Tom. What is an acceptable dose of Captopril for Tom? USP/DI: "Usual adult and adolescent dose Antihypertensive: Initial: Oral, 12.5 mg two or three times a day, the dosage being increased if necessary." Usual Pediatric Dose for Children Initial: "Oral, 300 mcg (0.3 mg) per kg of body weight three times a day, the dosage being increased if necessary." 2 As a reference point, we will first calculate Tom's dose based on the usual pediatric mg/kg dose given in the USP/DI. Then we will calculate doses for Tom based on the age and weight rules for pediatric dosing. We can then compare the results. What is the dose of Captopril for Tom based of the mg/kg dose given in the USP/DI, the standard of reference? Calculate the weight in kg for Tom: Calculating Weight in kg ( )
8 Calculate the dose of Captopril based on Tom's weight: Calculating Dose Based on Weight ( ) What is the dose of Captopril for Tom based on the normal adult dose and Tom's age? (Two rules may be used.) Young's Rule Young's Rule ( ) Cowling's Rule Cowling's Rule ( )
9 What is the dose of Captopril for Tom based on the normal adult dose and Tom's weight? Clark's Rule Clark's Rule ( ) Notice that in each case the doses for Captopril for Tom are similar. This is not always the case. Dosing for an infant based on the normal adult doses and "Fred's Rule" for pediatric dosing is used when we have no standard of reference (e.g. USP/DI, Facts and Comparison and package inserts). Example: Milli is a four-week-old infant who weighs 8 pounds. The prescriber wants to give Captopril to Milli. What is an acceptable dose of Captopril for Milli? USP/DI: "Usual adult and children doses are given." Usual pediatric dose: Newborns: Initial: "Oral, 10 mcg (0.01 mg) per kg of body weight two or three times a day, the dosage being adjusted as needed and tolerated." 2 Notice the difference in the mg/kg dose for newborns versus children: 10 mcg/kg versus 300 mcg/kg. Why? It may have something to do with the development of the kidneys or liver in the first weeks of life. What is the dose of Captopril for Milli based on the mg/kg dose given in the USP/DI? Calculation of kg weight of Milli: Calculating Weight in kg ( )
10 Calculation of dose: Calculating Dose ( ) What is the dose of Captopril for Milli based on normal adult dose and age? Fried's Rule for Infants Fried's Rule for Infants ( ) This dosage regimen is very close to that found in part which is based on the drug - specific dosage regimen found in the USP/DI, however, the dose of Captopril for Milli based on normal adult dose and weight as given by Clark's Rule is not so successful. It gives a dose that is nearly 20 times the correct dose for an infant. Try it for yourself and see! The general rules are not drug - specific and should be only used in the absence of more complete information. References 1. USP DI Vol. I, 17th ed.
