Pedi QuikCalc for Negative User Reviews

✓ Needs med database updateApp is ok. Needs medication list updated in a bad way.....going on 6years.CBC and BMPVersion: 4.4

✓ Not completeMissing drug information for neonatal resuscitation (i.e. Dopamine)..Nancy38Version: 1.4.3

✓ Ups and downsI just started using this App but have a few observations so far. Pro’s: I really like how some of the common medications are separated by indication, e.g. acyclovir (varicella) vs. Acyclovir (HSV). I like the additional app features such as mid-parent height, growth chart, and basic dosage calculator. However, I could not get the growth chart to work. I got an error message regardless of the height and weight I entered. Cons: there should be a simple way to sort between only brand name and generic meds in the list view. Not all meds are listed under both their trade and generic names e.g. Keflex yes but not cephalexin, Phenergan but not promethazine. This makes it difficult to search unless you have a very thorough mental inventory of both trade and generic names. Several of the web links did not work. Recommendation to the author: I think you have a great app in development, but I am concerned about the lack of dosage maximums built into the calculator. e.g. I was running sample calculations with decadron and the suggested dose for a 56 kg child was 33.7mg. This exceeds the published max daily dose of 20mg and the typical max dose of 10mg. I would like to see each drugs calculation stop at the max dose despite the weight entered AND have the max daily dose listed right below the suggested dose for safety. I would also suggest that there be an option to quickly select different supply concentrations, route of administration, dosage ranges, and frequency of dosing, etc. While this app has a lot of potential, I think some of the problems I described could lead to dosing errors. I will continue to test the app and re-post another review soon..MN RN, FNPVersion: 4.0

✓ No replyThe index of contents page has the meds all one on top of the other Difficult to read I emailed the developer a month ago about this but-no reply.Cochon11Version: 4.3

✓ KKVery Limited drugs are included, neither Ibuprofen nor Bactrim are found! Worthless app! Waste of money!.Robinhood001Version: 3.0

✓ Overrated and overpriced: Do not buy.Very poor narcotic selection, brand names only, does not offer different combination strength for narcotic solution preparations. I suspect the positive reviews are mostly paid. This app does not dovetail very well with real world usage. I guess you should be suspicious when something with a huge need, (pediatric dose calculator) has only a few reviews.Tony StilsonVersion: 4.0

✓ Formulary is very limitedNot sure why there are no blood pressure meds in the formulary, but there is enzyme replacement for Fabry's disease!? Drugs should be listed by generics. Pass.Nephron101Version: 4.2

✓ Will not open after update!Great app when it worked. I hope someone is working on this issue..CmivinsVersion: 1.6.1

✓ Not for Emergency/TraumaSeriously.. no Ketamine, Propofol or other conscious sedation or Emergency drugs... I guess if you work in a clinic this might be helpful, but any type of Emergency setting its a waste of money.Debi869Version: 4.0

Pedi QuikCalc works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Pedi QuikCalc.
