Clinical Sources & Calculation Methodology

Clinical review date: August 12, 2026

Calculation transparency

On supported Android paths, interactive medication results display the governing formula, entered values with units, explicit mass/time conversions, uncapped result, minimum/maximum application, and rounding before the final displayed value. Native iOS medication references remain static: they do not accept patient weight or other patient-specific medication inputs and do not calculate or display patient-specific dose, volume, or pump-rate results.

Source ledger

Every medication card includes a direct product-label or official product-information link for its representative formulation. Match the exact product, concentration, current labeling, and controlling protocol; a linked label may not cover protocol-directed or off-label transport use.

Local protocol: push-dose epinephrine

This is explicitly labeled a local agency protocol, not a universal national regimen: expel 1 mL from a 10 mL 0.9% sodium chloride flush; add 1 mL from epinephrine 1 mg/10 mL (0.1 mg/mL); final volume 10 mL at 10 mcg/mL. Label immediately. The local first dose is 5 mL (50 mcg), with reassessment/repeat only as directed while a titratable infusion is prepared. Pediatric use requires an exact agency protocol or online medical-control order.

Reuse

The app uses short original paraphrases and links. It does not reproduce publisher algorithms, figures, tables, or substantial prose. FDA/U.S. government material may be public domain, but trademarks and third-party material remain protected.
