About

VetMath Pro

Features
Read full description

VetMath Pro is a customizable ultra-fast medical calculator and protocols creator/organizer. Functioning is similar to a spreadsheet of drug calculations. Just input the patient weight, select which protocol or drug list you are interested in, and the next screen shows you the calculated doses for that drug list and other protocol item details. More detailed information about the calculations for each drug is available on another screen as desired. Additional calculators such as a CRI calculator are also available in the app. The most powerful aspect of this application is YOUR ability to create YOUR OWN protocols and drugs lists with your own preferred doses. Because you create and save your preferred drug lists ahead of time, you end up saving time during the busy work day for both daily routine calculations and for those infrequent drug usage times as well (e.g. species or conditions you don't see on a daily basis). FEATURES: •Rapid calculation of medication/drug doses. •Create new drug lists and protocols. •Create new categories and subcategories to organize your protocols and drug lists they way you want. •Add, remove, sort, and edit categories, protocols, drugs and protocol items as desired. •For each drug include the drug concentration if available for the particular drug, and your preferred drug dose. You can also add an optional dose range (low dose and high dose), an optional maximum total dose, and optional notes for each drug. •For each protocol item or drug you can save a link, a photo, or a pdf if desired to save more reference information for your protocols. •Separate medical notes can be added/saved. •Favorite protocols and protocol items and drugs can be saved and viewed on a separate tab to save time for your frequently used protocols or items/drugs. HOW TO: •Edit Categories and Protocols: Click menu button on the upper right from the main Protocols view and select Edit. •Edit Protocol Items and Drugs: From the main Protocols view, select the desired Protocol. Then select the upper right “options” button and select edit from the options.
