Dosing weight-based medications in obese patients can often be a tricky proposition. Most medications do not have guidelines for morbidly obesity, forcing clinicians to pursue in-depth literature searches in order to decide on a dose. This is not only time consuming, but not having an accurate idea of how to dose a medication can be a problem with patient safety.
For the newest addition to ClinCalc, I have created a Drug Dosing in Obesity Reference Table page that will serve as a dynamic growing repository of evidence-based recommendations regarding medication dosing in obese patients. Enjoy!
