How to Calculate Clark's Equation of Dosage?
Clark's Equation of Dosage calculator uses Pediatric Dosage = Adult Dose*(Weight of Patient/150) to calculate the Pediatric Dosage, The Clark's Equation of Dosage formula is defined as the weight of the patient in pounds divided by the average standard weight of 150 pounds multiplied by the adult dose of a drug equals the pediatric medication dose. Pediatric Dosage is denoted by PD symbol.
