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.
