Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "Desired Dose"?
The Desired Dose is the amount of medication ordered by the physician (e.g., 500 mg).
What is the "Vehicle"?
The vehicle is the form the medication comes in, such as 5 mL of liquid or 1 tablet.
Can I use different units?
Yes, but ensure the "Desired Dose" and "Dose on Hand" use the same units (e.g., both mg or both mcg) before calculating.
