SafeDose® is an electronic medication reference tool. It contains acute medications provided for pre-hospital and hospital workers by SafeDose as a public service.
SafeDose provides mixing instructions, dosing, and drug administration information on a single, actionable page. Choose the patient’s weight and clinical need, and instantly see the dose in mg, volume in mL, dilution, delivery information, and dangers.
The content is tailored to remove irrelevant information and to eliminate the need for math or memorization by the caregiver. This improves medication safety, reduces the cost of care, and improves clinical outcomes.
iMedicalApps’ review describes SafeDose as "useful and well designed... Undoubtedly, the potential for medication errors would be reduced if practitioners were to rely on the information provided by this app".
A university research study published in the Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics found that after less than 10 minutes of training, the use of the SafeDose system increased the accuracy of medication doses prepared during simulated pediatric emergencies by nearly 25 percent, and completely eliminated clinically significant errors.
The research also showed that use of the hospital version of SafeDose, as compared to traditional processes, reduced the time required to prepare medication during an emergency.
Used by hundreds of hospitals and many thousands of practitioners, all SafeDose medical content is medically reviewed for accuracy.

I definetely can recommend this nice. It even gives you the dosage for adults. Two ideas for improvement: first please add more medication, especially iv administered ones and second add maybe more pediatric specific details to the medication like the special excretion for example Thank you
Concise, extensive list of meds, doses & concentrations. Easy to use with quick references.
As a flight nurse I am excited about using SafeDose. SafeDose allows me to put more energy into pediatric care by providing a quick and easy way to confirm dosage and ml amounts for drugs. Yet, I get most emotional when I realize how great an opportunity this is for health industry professionals to greatly improve emergent pediatric and non-emergent care. SafeDose will help save childrens lives.
A great tool/reference for any medical provider: EMTs, nurses, physicians, etc...
