This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. The previous version used both the Absolute Body Weight method and the Ideal Body Weight method to calculate drug toxicity. The current version uses only the Absolute Body Weight method to calculate dosing toxicity, in keeping with the American Academy 2016 Guidelines. Because the Ideal Body Weight method is not utilized, the patient’s height does not have to be entered. If you do not install this new version, your app will continue to use both methods.
