User reviews

Lousy liquid po dose calc

have to reference 3 different areas for ped dose calc for po liquids rather than 1 like other apps which provide “sliders” for best by disease, mg per kilo per day , max dose, and duration.

Still lacking

I tried to look up normal sodium levels for neonates. It has none listed for under 3 years of age. The book printed book does though.

Response from developer

Thank you for reaching out to us. We are unable to locate your account in our records to verify the edition you are referencing. The content in the resource comes directly from the publisher. We'd be happy to look into this matter further with additional account details and reference to the book. Please email our support team at support@unboundmedicine.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Pediatric dosage calculator

In the past Harriet Lane provided a pediatrics dosage calculator for each drug. This application does not, which is disappointing.

Comes in handy…

Hospital Pharmacist for over 30 years, have been using Harriet Lane all this time.
This is my go to reference for checking drug doses for kids. Handy to have on my phone.

Still not a finished product, buy the paper copy

Tried to find normal for age glucose levels in reference value section. Says see chapter 10, with link provided. No values listed there, just discussion on diabetes.

Just tried to look up normal for age thyroid labs. All values for ages above 28 days are missing now.

I tried to call their number as they have requested, got voicemail.
