Young's Rule AnswerYoung's ruleIs a dosage calculation rule that converts adult dosing requirements for children.12 is added to the child's AGE, the sum is divided by the child's age, the adult dose is then divide the adult dose by the figure obtained.For example:6mg adult dose requirement.12 + child's age (say 6) = 1818 divided by 6 = 3Divide the adult dose by the figure obtained: 6/3 = 2mg or 1/3 the adult dose.Dave CI believe the final Function would be A/((x+12)/x)Where A= Adult Dose and X= agei don't beieve this is a rational function though because there is 2 variables

It is a way of calculating pediatric doses for children over the age of 2 based on the adult dose. Take the age of the child in years and divide that by their age plus 12. Multiply this number times the adult dose. Pediatric dose = [age/(age + 12)] x adult dose Again, this is not the best means available- Wight or BSA calculations are better.

Is 800 mg per dose of ibuprofen too much for an adult weighing 150 lbs to reduce swelling and inflammation?
I think the reccommended dose is 1 200mg tablet of Ibuprofen for every 60 pounds of body weight so a person weighing 150 pounds should take 3 Ibuprofen. If the pain is severe maybe 800mg every 6 hours for a few days, but no more than a few days then consult with a licensed FNP or DO.
