Formula used to calculate the weekly dose in mL from the patient’s weight in kg:

Weekly dose calculation
Weekly volume calculation
Patient body weight (in kg)
× dose (0.2 or 0.4 g/kg)
= weekly dose (in g)
Weekly dose (in g) ×
5 mL/1 g = volume (in mL)
Sample weekly
dosing calculations
for an 80-kg patient
0.2 g/kg
0.4 g/kg
80 kg × 0.2 g/kg = 16 g
80 kg × 0.4 g/kg = 32 g
16 g × 5 mL/1 g = 80 mL
32 g × 5 mL/1 g = 160 mL
