Introduction
Mathematical
calculations are an essential part of the practice of pharmacy. Calculations
are required not only for the accurate preparation and dispensing of
medications but also for clinical dose calculations and adjust-ments for
individual patient needs. In this chapter, the common calculations encountered
in the practice of pharmacy and their basic principles are sum-marized. This
chapter assumes the background knowledge of mathematics such as mathematical
functions with fractions, interconversions of fractions and decimals, natural
and log exponential functions, and basic algebraic principles.
