Question

Calculate the dose for a child that has a body surface area of 0.57m2, when the adult dose of a drug is 50mg​

Answer 1

 dose is the quantity of drug taken or given.

Doses are expressed using one of the following formats:

Quantity of drug, e.g. 25 mg, 5 ml, 250 mg/ml.

Amount of drug per kilogram of body weight, e.g. 5mg/kg.

Amount of drug per square meter of body surface (BSA), e.g. 10 mg/m2 BSA.

The latter two methods, based on the patient's body size (weight or body surface area), are often used for pediatric doses, but they are useful for adult doses for certain drugs.  This is especially true for with narrow therapeutic indices and drugs used in radiopharmaceuticals.
