Use this Almost Every Day
This app is very useful for the clinical pharmacist responsible for kinetic dosing. It is quick, simple to use and works well. Have found this provides more accurate predictions for geriatric patients, in comparison to other kinetics calculators tried in the past.
Love it
I like this app it's simple and to the points. Pretty handy when your on the floor. You don't have too many options to confuse you but you can still adjust VD to your liking. I'm surprised this app is not reviewed or used that much.
Very helpful
This has been the most useful app for doing pharmacokinetics that I found. It does the calculations for aminoglycosides, vancomycin and high dose extended interval dosing. I have been using it for over five years. It's efficient, no frills interface is quick and can save a lot of time. Highly recommended!

OK but needs work
There is no report feature. At least condense the results and relevant data on a single screen that can be air-printed or sent to the device camera roll. As others noted, there are slim pickings for iPhone kinetics apps. This app is a worthy effort but it needs some improvement.
RxCalc
I have been a clinical pharmacist for 19-years. For the last 8-10 years, I have been using ClinRx on my palm. Unfortunately, ClinRx is not available for I-Pod/I-Phone. I misplaced my palm and was looking for an alternate program. I had seen a review from a professor at UC San Francisco praising RxCalc. I purchased this program based on that review. I found it less than useless. I plugged in the data for a large, relatively young patient with a high vancomycin trough. The data for the single level vancomycin trough provided data that was completely inaccurate. I tried again with similar data. Again, the resultant data was exactly opposite of what someone who is familiar with pharmacokinetics would expect. Example: 1500mg every 8 hours with a reported trough of 28 at 1/2 hour prior to next dose in a 128kg patient recommends a NEW dose of 1750mg every 8 hours for a goal trough of 18. If the trough is already higher than desired, why would you want to increase the dose? The original data on an actual patient provided a Tau of approximately 3 hours when the actual Tau should have been 12-18 hours.
I would not recommend this program, especially if the person purchasing the program does not have enough experience to recognize when the data being provided is not accurate.

Response from developer
Hello. We finally have the ability to reply to our reviews and I'd love to hear any feedback you would like to provide. Do you happen to know the model ClinRx is using? RxCalc is based on the Creighton model. There are many to choose from and we'd love to know the model you prefer. Please send any feedback you'd like to provide to support@applecorelabs.com. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
