Excellent Program for IV drip rates

This is an excellent program for calculating IV drip rates that I would recommend for Doctors, Nurses and Pharmacists. It easily allows you to input solutions and calculate drip rates be they weight or non-weight based. It has a built in numeric keypad for ease of number entry. It allows multiple types of unit input such as mcg/kg/min, units/hour and many more. You can set up a list of predetermined drug concentrations which also prompts for weight (if weight based) and displays appropriate infusion rate units. The memory requirement is tiny and the price is more than fair.
Incredibly Useful!

This is a very simple program, but so incredibly useful. Very easy to program and save a variety of IV drugs and be able to calculate whatever dosage you need. If you work in the ER, ICU, or step-down units, I would highly recommend getting this inexpensive program for your PDA.
