Medication Dose/Rate Calculator (mg/kg/hr etc.)
Convert bidirectionally between a prescribed clinical dose and an infusion-pump rate (mL/hr). Supports weight-based (mcg/kg/min, mg/kg/hr, units/kg/hr) and flat (units/hr) dosing. Two directions: Dose → Rate and Rate → Dose. ALL high-alert infusions require independent double-checking (ISMP). Derived from Macklin 2011, ISMP, Royal Marsden 9th ed. 2015, and MDCalc. Not medical advice.
Quick start
Call this tool from your code in three languages.
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/medication-dose-rate' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"direction":"dose-to-rate","doseUnit":"mcg/kg/min","concUnit":"mg/mL","drugAmount":400,"volume":250,"weight":70,"dose":5,"rate":0,"decimalPlaces":2}'API reference
Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.
