The calculator uses three inputs from an inventory item's profile - concentration, dose range, and default dose. To set these values:
Click on Inventory
Navigate to the applicable inventory item
Click on "edit item"
Enter in the Concentration. The value for this will want to be set based on the items 'Base Quantity'. For example, if the quantity is set to 1 tablet, and that tablet is 200 mg, the concentration will be listed as 200 mg
Next, is the Dose Range. This range has a Min - Max based off of the concentration selected. In this example of a 200 mg tablet, the first unit will be selected as mg. The second unit is for the weight of the patient. In the example below, lbs is selected. This means, per 1 lb of the animal, the dose range is 10-15 mg of this medication.
The last field to fill out is the dose. This is the default dose that will be associated with the medication. In this example, for every 1 lb, 10 mg of this medication is to be used.
To use the dosage calculator, click on the calculator icon next to the applicable item in a bundle, or next to the "quantity" field when adding a medical record. The patient's last weight will automatically populate the calculator, but this value can be edited as needed.
