correct dosage

What are the Common Methods for Calculating Dosages?

There are several methods to calculate pediatric dosages:
1. Weight-Based Dosage Calculation: The most common method, where the dosage is determined by multiplying the child's weight in kilograms by the recommended dose per kilogram.
2. Age-Based Dosage Calculation: Less precise, but sometimes used for ease, especially in over-the-counter medications.
3. Body Surface Area (BSA) Calculation: Used for drugs with narrow therapeutic indices and those requiring precise dosing.
