Frequently asked questions
Does the tool replace the FDA label?
No. It surfaces the label structure for fast review; the clinician should always confirm against the current FDA label before prescribing.
Are dialysis-specific doses included?
Yes when the FDA label or KDIGO provides them. Intermittent vs continuous dialysis often differ; verify with your renal pharmacist.
Is Child-Pugh always applicable?
No. Many drugs have only renal-elimination data and no hepatic-impairment guidance. The tool will note when hepatic data is unavailable.
Can I look up multiple drugs at once?
One drug per request to keep output focused. For polypharmacy, run several lookups or escalate to clinical pharmacy.
What if the FDA label is silent?
The tool will surface that gap, point to alternative references (Sanford, KDIGO, Aronoff), and recommend pharmacy review.
