Dose Calculator by FDA


Oncology Tools: Dose CalculatorThis calculator will convert a dose in mg/kg or mg/m2 to a total dose. It will also indicate the equivalent dose for several species of animals. The method to convert a dose from one species to another is to set the dose in mg/m2 the same. As an example, a mouse dose of 50 mg/kg is equivalent to a dose of about 150 mg/m2. To find an equivalent human dose, set the dose to 150 mg/m2 and then read that the equivalent human dose is about 3.5 mg/kg. The weight in kilograms can be adjusted to any value to individualize dosing. The basis for the calculations is the formula mg/m5 = (mg/kg x 100 x kga)/K where K is a different value for each animal species. The weights are entered in kilograms. The estimated surface area is based on the formula BSA = (K x kgb)/100 where K is the same K value as in the previous equation and a different value for each animal species
