  2. Clark's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark's_rule

    The procedure is to take the child's weight in pounds, divide by 150 lb, and multiply the fractional result by the adult dose to find the equivalent child dosage.For example, if an adult dose of medication calls for 30 mg and the child weighs 30 lb, divide the weight by 150 (30/150) to obtain 1/5 and multiply 1/5 times 30 mg to get 6 mg.

  3. Paracetamol poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol_poisoning

    The mice group treated with an equivalent dose of paracetamol showed a significant decrease of glutathione of 35% (p<0.01 vs untreated control group). The oral LD50 was found to be greater than 2000 mg kg-1, whereas the intraperitoneal LD50 was 1900 mg kg-1. These results taken together with the good hydrolysis and bioavailability data show ...

  4. Effective dose (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_dose_(pharmacology)

    The importance of determining the therapeutic range of a drug cannot be overstated. This is generally defined by the range between the minimum effective dose (MED) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The MED is defined as the lowest dose level of a pharmaceutical product that provides a clinically significant response in average efficacy ...

  5. Equianalgesic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equianalgesic

    Acute use (1–3 days) yields a potency about 1.5× stronger than that of morphine and chronic use (7 days+) yields a potency about 2.5 to 5× that of morphine. Similarly, the effect of tramadol increases after consecutive dosing due to the accumulation of its active metabolite and an increase of the oral bioavailability in chronic use.

  6. Dose (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose_(biochemistry)

    In single-dose scenarios, the patient's body weight and the drug's recommended dose per kilogram are used to determine a safe one-time dose. If multiple doses of treatment are needed in a day, the physician must take into account information regarding the total amount of the drug which is safe to use in one day, and how that should be broken up ...

  7. Doxylamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxylamine

    Children appear to be at a high risk for cardiopulmonary arrest. A toxic dose for children of more than 1.8 mg/kg has been reported. A 3-year-old child died 18 hours after ingesting 1,000 mg doxylamine succinate. [5] Rarely, an overdose results in rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. [36]

  8. Threshold dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_dose

    Threshold dose is the minimum dose of drug that triggers minimal detectable biological effect in an animal. [1] At extremely low doses, biological responses are absent for some of the drugs. The increase in dose above threshold dose induces an increase in the percentage of biological responses. [ 2 ]

  9. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsteroidal_anti...

    Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [1] [3] (NSAID) [1] are members of a therapeutic drug class which reduces pain, [4] decreases inflammation, decreases fever, [1] and prevents blood clots. Side effects depend on the specific drug, its dose and duration of use, but largely include an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds ...
