PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE.

No Medical Advice

The calculators, frameworks, and content provided on the Institute for Pharmacy website are intended strictly for educational and informational purposes for qualified healthcare professionals. They do not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Patients or members of the general public should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something they have read on this website.

Professional Judgment is Mandatory

Clinical pharmacy requires the synthesis of complex, patient-specific variables that no algorithm can fully capture. The tools provided here are aids, not substitutes for independent clinical judgment.

• You must independently verify all calculations, dosages, and treatment recommendations against your local hospital formulary, trust policy, or the British National Formulary (BNF).
• Guidance changes frequently. While we strive to keep our models updated, we make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information.
• Specific patient populations (e.g., extremes of body weight, severe renal or hepatic impairment, pediatrics, pregnancy) often require deviations from standard formulas.

Limitation of Liability

By using this website, you agree that the Institute for Pharmacy, its authors, and its developers shall have no liability to you or any third party for any loss, damage, injury, or death arising directly or indirectly from the use or reliance upon any information or tool provided on this site.

Local Policy Supremacy

In all cases of conflict between the outputs of our calculators and your local institutional guidelines (e.g., MicroGuide, specific trust antimicrobial policies), your local policy must take precedence.
