Weight and age print on the prescription
Age in years and months, plus weight in kilograms, are recorded per prescription and appear on the printed document where the pharmacist can see them.
Built for your practice
Paediatric prescribing needs the child’s weight and age visible on the prescription, and doses in millilitres rather than tablets. Both are first-class fields here.
Age in years and months, plus weight in kilograms, are recorded per prescription and appear on the printed document where the pharmacist can see them.
Dose units are free text, so 2.5 ml, 5 ml or 7.5 ml are all first-class. You can save the same syrup several times at different strengths.
Deliberately. Weight-based dose calculation is a clinical decision-support feature with a very different safety and regulatory profile, and guessing at it would be dangerous. You enter the dose.
Add these once with your usual dosage and they are one keystroke away afterwards. Nothing here is prescriptive — it is a starting point you edit, replace or ignore.
No. Recording weight is supported and it prints on the prescription, but the dose is entered by you. Automatic paediatric dose calculation is not a formatting feature and is out of scope for this product.
Yes — age is stored as years and months, so an eight-month-old is recorded accurately rather than rounded to zero.
