DoseVet

DoseVet - Allometric Dose Scaling Calculator for veterinary use.

DoseVet is a tool to calculate dosage of drugs for veterinary. This tool is using an allometric dose scaling theory.

It is used to calculate a dosage of a drug formulated for an administration animal group to an animal of another group.

For example, you can calculate the dosage of a drug formulated for humans administration to a dog.

Features:

- Calculate drug dosages using the theory allometric dose scaling;

- Calculate linear drug dosages;

- Register of drugs for quick use;

- History of recent drugs calculations performed;

- Sharing results via text (SMS, Email, Chat, Whatsapp, ...).

Terms and Observations:

- DoseVet is only for veterinary use;

- The calculated dosages are estimated from allometric dose scaling theory. DoseVet does not guarantee results / effectiveness of applications using the application;

- DoseVet is not responsible (any way) for the administration of drugs, even using the calculated dosages. The mathematical formulas are taken from the veterinary literature;

- For more information about the dosage allometric dose scaling theory see the veterinary literature, such as [1], [2] and [3] (Portuguese Version).
