RxCalc for Pharmacokinetic Calculations on The iPhone

Filed under: Net News

Here's a new iPhone application for pharmacists that "puts commonly used pharmacokinetic calculations in the palm of your hand."

From the product page:

With RxCalc you quickly compute the most commonly used pharmacokinetic calculations, including designing new vancomycin and aminoglycoside dosing regimens and patient-specific post-level adjustments to current dosing regimens. You can also finetune the recommended regimen to meet a patient's specific needs.
