Getting creative with pharmacy labels: dosing calculations

I was searching for inpatient pharmacy label examples, specifically IV label examples, for a project that I’m working on and came across a site called RxLabelToolkit.com. It’s a neat little site that offers quite a bit of information on label design. I don’t know if the business is still active as the most recent post I can find on their blog is from December, but it’s worth a few minutes of your time to stop and have a look.

RxLabelToolkit.com: “One of the most valuable features of BarTender for pharmacy, is the ability to perform pharmaceutical calculations right within the label application. This allows us to build a label that can calculate a dose, an infusion rate, expiration date or a taper schedule. Any mathematical formula needed can be performed right in the label application.”

The site has some pretty cool examples. The ampicillin label below is my favorite. There’s also a brief slide presentation that walks you through all the fields on the example label.

  1. Hi Jerry

    I am the developer of RxLABELToolkit.com. I also developed RxTOOLKIT.com. We are moving much of the information to RxTOOLKIT.com

    Thank you for your interest. We will be adding more and more label features. Check out the Insulin Pen labels we just introduced.

    Thanks

    Chuck
