1. What Is The Omni Prescription Calculator?

The Omni Prescription Calculator calculates medication days supply based on total quantity and daily dosage. This helps patients and healthcare providers determine how long a prescription will last.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the prescription formula:

Where:

• \( DS \) — Days Supply (days)
• \( TQ \) — Total Quantity (units)
• \( DD \) — Daily Dose (units/day)

Explanation: The equation divides the total quantity of medication by the daily dosage to determine how many days the supply will last.

3. Importance Of Days Supply Calculation

Details: Accurate days supply calculation is crucial for medication adherence, refill scheduling, insurance coverage, and preventing medication shortages.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter total quantity in units and daily dosage in units per day. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my medication has different dosing frequencies?
A: Convert your dosing schedule to a daily total. For example, if you take 2 pills twice daily, your daily dose would be 4 pills.

Q2: How do I calculate for "as needed" medications?
A: For PRN medications, use your average daily usage based on past consumption patterns.

Q3: What about medications with variable dosing?
A: For medications with titrated dosing, calculate based on the maximum expected dose or consult your healthcare provider.

Q4: Does this work for all medication forms?
A: Yes, the calculation works for tablets, capsules, milliliters, inhalations, and other measurable units.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation for real-world use?
A: This provides a theoretical calculation. Actual days supply may vary based on adherence, dose adjustments, or missed doses.
