RxCalc (Formerly DoseCalcPlus) Updated

Jeremy Adler's RxCalc (formerly DoseCalcPlus) is a standalone program for calculating pediatric medication doses.

The program is available in left- and right-handed versions, and allows you to easily calculate doses for both oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) medications. It includes medication lists for convenient dose reference, and lets you look up drugs using the brand or generic names. The calculator lets you adjust a dose up or down to a conveniently rounded-off dose, calculate the dispense volume for PO meds, convert between weight units (kg, lb and oz, stone), and more.

Version 4.0 includes a number of new features and bug fixes, including:
  • Resizable screen for Sony Clié / Tungsten|T3 [Ed: And presumably the new T5]
  • Collapsible keyboard
  • High resolution fonts
  • Small fonts with color/bold highlighting of erroneous values
  • Graffiti Shortcuts
  • Optional unit change warning/clear screen
  • Formatted information screens
  • Fixed error in IV calculation where dose is calculated - µg/kg/min was correct, but µg/kg/hr was wrong
  • Grayscale icons no longer supported in Palm OS 4.0
  • Single-dose drugs now display as mg/dose, etc.
