Summary of the KidDose tool
KidDose is a weight-based pediatric dosing calculator created by pediatric clinicians to estimate medication amounts for children. The tool is intended to be a quick reference that translates a child’s weight into an approximate dose for common over‑the‑counter pediatric medicines.
How dosing is determined
Dosing guidance shown in the app is compiled from product labeling and current clinical practice guidelines. The calculator is intended to help caregivers rapidly find weight-based amounts, but it does not perform clinical assessment or replace a clinician’s judgment.
Over-the-counter medicines included
- Advil (ibuprofen)
- Motrin (ibuprofen brand)
- Zyrtec (cetirizine)
- Benadryl (diphenhydramine)
- Tylenol (acetaminophen)

Before giving any medication to a child, always consult your child’s healthcare provider, confirm the correct dose with a medical professional, and follow the physician’s instructions exactly.
