What is the Calvert formula for carboplatin?

Carboplatin dose (mg) = target AUC × (GFR + 25). The Calvert formula is the FDA-recognized standard for carboplatin dosing and is documented in the carboplatin package insert.

Which renal function formula should I use for Calvert dosing?

Most institutions use Cockcroft-Gault with a defined weight methodology and a CrCl cap (commonly 125 mL/min). CKD-EPI 2021 is increasingly used. Infu-IQ shows every formula side-by-side so you can verify against your institution's protocol.

Should I cap CrCl when dosing carboplatin?

The FDA has recommended capping calculated CrCl (typically at 125 mL/min) when using Calvert dosing to avoid overdosing in patients with normal serum creatinine and low body weight. Infu-IQ applies your physician's CrCl cap automatically.

How is Infu-IQ different from the GlobalRPH carboplatin calculator?

GlobalRPH computes a single formula at a time. Infu-IQ runs every relevant renal function formula in parallel, applies physician-specific weight and cap rules, logs the calculation for audit, and produces ready-to-paste pharmacist documentation — designed for institutional verification, not single-use lookup.

What AUC should I target for carboplatin?

Common targets are AUC 5–6 for ovarian and lung regimens, AUC 4–5 for elderly or relapsed patients, and AUC 1.5–2 weekly with radiation. Always follow the protocol or order set in use.

Is the Infu-IQ carboplatin calculator free?

Yes. The calculator is free for registered pharmacy and oncology professionals. Registration enables institution-specific configuration and physician preferences.

Carboplatin Dosing

Carboplatin AUC dosing calculator.

Carboplatin dosing is one piece of the Infu-IQ pharmacist command center. The Calvert formula depends on renal function, so Infu-IQ runs Cockcroft-Gault, CKD-EPI 2021, Jelliffe, and measured GFR in parallel, applies institution rules, and shows the dosing impact in seconds.

What makes this different from GlobalRPH or other pharmacy calculators?

✓All formulas at once. Instead of picking one formula, you see CrCl results from every relevant formula side-by-side. No guessing which one to use.
✓Physician-specific rules applied automatically. Each ordering physician can save their preferred weight methodology, CrCl cap, and dose limits — and they're applied every time, with no manual entry.
✓Versioned, institutional governance. Every calculation is logged with the patient context and physician profile used. Your pharmacy can audit and review dosing decisions.
✓Ready-to-paste documentation. The calculator auto-generates a pharmacist verification note formatted for your EHR — save 2 minutes per order.
✓Institution-configurable. Set CrCl caps, minimum SCr rounding, weight methodology, and dose warnings that match your protocol — no hidden magic.
