Questions fréquemment posées
Is this safe for any antibiotic?
Only a calculator — it does not check drug-specific limits, renal adjustment, or contraindications. Always cross-check with a pediatric formulary.
Maximum dose cap?
Not applied. Many antibiotics (amoxicillin, azithromycin) have absolute daily caps that override the per-kg formula. Check the dosing reference.
