Description

The PharmCalc app harnesses modern technology to provide a time-saving means of performing common pharmacy calculations thereby assisting the pharmacist in the design and validation of dosage regimes that are efficacious and minimally toxic. The computational method allows for easy adjustment of calculation parameters, practically instantaneously, without having to go through the tedious process of re-calculating by hand.This app version of PharmCalc provides an easy means of calculating Loading and Maintenance doses for routinely used drugs such as Digoxin and Theophylline. It also features a Gentamicin dosing calculator.The project is founded on well established literature with each online tool outlining the calculations and references used.Calculations/Computations include:General Temperature conversion Ideal Body Weight Body Surface Area Body Mass Index Basal Energy expenditureClinical Reference Ranges Creatinine Clearance MDRD eGFR Calcium Correction HbA1c tools Absolute Neutrophil Count FENa FEUrea Iron Deficit (Ganzoni eqn) Bicarbonate Deficit Metabolic Acidosis (Winters)Oral Dosing Digoxin Theophylline Phenobarbital Phenytoin CarbemazepineIV Dosing GentamicinScores CHADS2 AF TIA/Stroke Risk CURB-65 Pneumonia Framingham CHD Risk Glasgow Coma Scale MIDAS headache Well's DVT Well's PE GPPAQ Activity scoreOther Mean Arterial Pressure HLB Alligation SuppositoriesPharmCalc has been developed by Jamie Al-Nasir M.Pharm (Hons) - Current PhD Research student in Computer Science and Molecular biology at the Centre for Systems and Synthetic Biology, dept of Computer Science, Royal Holloway, University of London.http://personal.rhul.ac.uk/mxba/001/Content rating: Medium Maturity
