Pharmacy calculations get much easier when you know what type of problem you’re looking at and how to set it up.
This Pharmacy Calculations Study Pack was created for pharmacy students who want a straightforward way to review calculation concepts, work through examples, and then practice independently.
The main guide walks through common calculation setups with concise reference pages and worked examples before giving you opportunities to solve problems on your own. Topics include conversions, concentration and strength, weight-based dosing, mg/kg/day versus mg/kg/dose, dilution, reconstitution, alligation, days’ supply, quantity to dispense, IV rates, and multi-step calculations.
The separate practice packet adds 50 calculation questions with step-by-step answer explanations across five major areas: weight-based dosing and multi-step problems; concentrations, percent and ratio strength; dilution, alligation and reconstitution; days’ supply and quantity to dispense; and IV rates and infusions.
