This calculator gives users a quick way to determine an ideal vancomycin regimen, estimate a steady-state trough concentration, and adjust an existing regimen when a patient has already been receiving vancomycin and has a correctly drawn trough reported.
Height and weight can be selected in standard or metric units and dosing/frequency can be adjusted with convenient drop-down boxes.
Results can be tagged and emailed for future reference or consultation.
Calculations are performed using standard first-order, single-compartment pharmacokinetic models, and evidence-based population pharmacokinetic assumptions.
