Quickly and safely determine the correct amoxicillin dosage for children using our free online calculator. Input your child's weight in kg or lbs and the recommended mg/kg/day dosage to receive precise daily and per-dose amounts. This tool helps parents and healthcare providers ensure accurate medication administration for common pediatric infections.
Formula:
The Amoxicillin Pediatric Dosage Calculator uses the following steps to determine a safe and effective dose:
- Step 1: Calculate Total Daily Dose (TDD)
TDD (mg) = Child's Weight (kg) × Prescribed Dose (mg/kg/day) - Step 2: Calculate Single Dose
Single Dose (mg) = Total Daily Dose (mg) ÷ Doses Per Day
This calculation provides the total milligrams of amoxicillin required per day and for each individual administration.
